Progressive Bounded Error Piecewise Linear Approximation with Resolution Reduction for Time Series Data Compression by Jeng-Wei Lin, Shih-wei Liao, Yu-Hung Tsai, Ching-Che Huang

“…For all datasets, the total data size of the three BEPLAs is almost the same with the size used to store just one version w.r.t. the smallest error bound and significantly smaller than the size used to keep three independent versions. The experiment result shows that the proposed method, referred to as PBEPLA-RR, can achieve very good compression ratios and provide multiple approximations w.r.t. different error bounds.…”
