In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are
provided for analyzing transactional data. A similarity analysis program
may be used that receives time-series data relating to transactions of an
organization and performs a similarity analysis of the time-series data
to generate a similarity matrix. A data reduction program may be used
that receives the time-series data and performs one or more dimension
reduction operations on the time-series data to generate reduced
time-series data. A distance analysis program may be used that performs a
distance analysis using the similarity matrix and the reduced time-series
data to generate a distance matrix. A data analysis program may be used
that performs a data analysis operation, such as a data mining operation,
using the distance matrix to generate a data mining analysis of the
transactional data.
