description Time series similarity measurement is one of the fundamental tasks in time series data mining, and there are many studies on time series similarity measurement methods. However, the majority of them only calculate the distance between equal-length time series, and also cannot adequately reflect the fluctuation features of time series. To solve this problem, a new time series similarity measurement method based on fluctuation features is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the fluctuation features extraction method of time series is introduced. By defining and identifying fluctuation points, the fluctuation points sequence is obtained to represent the original time series for subsequent analysis. Then, a new similarity measurement (D_SM) is put forward to calculate the distance between different fluctuation points sequences. This method can calculate the distance of unequal-length time series, and it includes two main steps: similarity matching and the distance calculation based on similarity matching. Finally, the experiments are performed on some public time series using agglomerative hierarchical clustering based on D_SM. Compared to some traditional time series similarity measurements, the clustering results show that the proposed method can effectively distinguish time series with similar shapes from different classes and get a visible improvement in clustering accuracy in terms of F-Measure.
