Symbolic Representations of Time Series...
SAX is just as good as other representations, or working on the raw data for most problems (Slides shown at the end of this presentation)
In C Algorithms for Real-Time DSP, author Paul M. Embree presents a complete guide to digital signal processing techniques in the C programming language. This book is structured in such a way that it will be most useful to the engineer who is familiar with DSP and the C language, but who is not necessarily an expert in both. All of the example programs in this book have been tested using standard C compilers in the UNIX and MS-DOS programming environments. In addition, the examples have been compiled using the real-time programing tools of specific real-time embedded DSP microprocessors (Analog Devices ADSP-21020 and ADSP-21062 Texas Instruments TMS320C30 and TMS320C40 and AT&T DSP32C) and then tested with real-time hardware using real-world signals.
