Finding correct window size for the motif discovery

[adityabhandwalkar]

Hello @seanlaw ,

I was going through your tutorial for the SKIMP In that tutorial the max_m = 1000 , my question is how did you reach to that value of 1000 when you do not known about maximum length of a subsequence/ window. In my case I have 60k data points only with the sampling rate how can i determine the max_m and min_m is there any alternative to determine this

thanks

@adityabhandwalkar Unfortunately, there is no secret to choosing max_m. Ultimately, you should set max_m to something like 2x the maximum time that you believe an event is likely to take within your domain (nobody can know this but you). Usually, with time series, you might set max_m to an hour, week, month, or year (depending on your data). When you really have no idea then you basically have to set max_m to the length of your time series. Again, there is no magic here and SKIMP is only a tool that may or may not help.
