ABSTRACT Consider the problem of clustering objects with temporally changing multivariate variables, for instance, in the classification of cities with several changing socioeconomic indices in geographical research. If the changing multivariate can be recorded simultaneously as a multivariate time series, in which the length of each subseries is equal and the subseries can be correlated, the problem is transformed into a multivariate time series clustering problem. The available methods consider the correlations between distinct time series but overlook the shape of each time series, which causes multivariate time series with similar correlations and opposite shapes to be clustered into the same class.
