A method and system for identifying structure in time series data. The data is represented by a plurality of elements from a set of possible elements. The method includes the steps of: (i) determining an upper bound on the probability that the structure to be identified includes a one of the possible elements; (ii) calculating a threshold probability; and (iii) eliminating the element from the set of possible elements if the upper probability bound is less than the threshold probability. A system is provided including a memory for storing data and processing means operating on data to carry out the method. |
