Combining Motif information and K-Nearest-Neighbors for Forecasting Hospital Outpatient Visits Flow
Effective hospital outpatient visits flow forecasting is an important task for modern hospitals to implement intelligent management of medical resources. Since outpatient visits flow may be nonlinear and dynamic, we propose a hybrid model, which combines motif information and k-nearest-neighbors regressor. Time series motif is a previously unknown pattern appearing frequently in a time series.
