SEGMENTER

‘Segmenter.exe’ is a 32bit executable consol application for WINDOWS 2000 or greather. There is no version for Linux. The algorithms are explained in 2nd title.

AGREEMENT

Please use the software for only acedemic purposes and refer the following studies in your papers.

ABOUT SOFTWARE

Download the executable to a new directory on your computer.

Data format  At least two space between items and never put space after the last item (See h131.txt). There is no other criteria to consider.

Valid file names are the same with WINDOWS.

Maximum number of items is approximately 3000 for a computer with total 2GB memory (including paging file). This is not a planned restriction, just because of ability of c++ when using near memory access.

For execution, open the directory including  ‘Segmenter.exe’ and then select it. Press ‘Enter’ button. Follow the instuctions on the black board then obtain the results given in the text file named ‘OUT.txt’. (In viewing results, IE or any internet browser is more suitable for long rows than ‘Notepad’ or ‘MS Word’).

‘OUT.txt’ includes

Cost : The normalized cost values.

Ho : Takes the value depending on Scheffe’s test,

0, if test is succeeded,

 >0, if test is not succedeed

 -1, if test is not available (when the segmentation cost is vanishing).

Alt : Since the solution of segmentation problem is not unic, there may be at least alt optimal segmentations of n-th order which are not presented here. This code may not find all of these solutions. To test this, you can use time series symmetric according to its first and last items, e.g. (a,b,c,b,a).
