Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new easily implementable approach to a linguistic summarization of trends that may occur in temporal data, to be more specific - time series. To characterize the trends in time series, we use three parameters: dynamics of change, duration and variability, and apply to them the fuzzy linguistic summaries of data (databases) in the sense of Yager (cf. Yager [13], Kacprzyk and Yager [7] and Kacprzyk, Yager and Zadrozny [8]) which in the form of natural language-like sentences subsume the very essence of a set of data. A genetic algorithm is used to generate the linguistic summaries sought.
