Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of disease markers, and more specifically, relates to a method for determining change points in the structural evolution characteristics of disease markers. Background Art
[0002] The analysis of the structural evolution characteristics of disease markers is an important research topic in the field of biomedicine. By accurately capturing the key change points in the temporal evolution of the marker structure, it can provide crucial basis for the early diagnosis, prognosis judgment, and treatment plan formulation of diseases. Currently, the commonly used methods for identifying change points in the structural evolution characteristics of disease markers mainly include technical means such as statistical analysis, spectral analysis, and pattern recognition.
[0003] The method based on statistical analysis usually first segments the time series data, and then calculates the statistical characteristics of each segment of data such as mean, variance, etc. When these statistics exceed the preset threshold, that time point is considered as a change point. This method is simple to implement, but it is difficult to cope with the non-stationarity and sudden changes in the marker structure evolution process. For example, in the diagnosis of some diseases, the change of marker concentration over time often shows non-linear and non-continuous characteristics, making it difficult for a single statistical threshold to accurately capture the change point.
[0004] The method based on spectral analysis is to transform the time series data into the frequency domain space, and identify the change points by analyzing spectral characteristics such as energy distribution, frequency components, etc. This method can provide multi-scale analysis capabilities, but it has limitations in dealing with non-linear evolution processes. Since the disease marker structure usually shows complex non-linear dynamic characteristics, a single spectral analysis method is difficult to comprehensively describe its evolution law.
[0005] The method based on pattern recognition identifies the change points by constructing feature templates and using pattern matching. The specific approach is to pre-define several typical change patterns, and then calculate the similarity between the measured data and these templates to determine the change points. This method highly depends on prior knowledge and is difficult to adapt to the actual complex and changeable situations. For example, in practical applications, there are often various complex change patterns in the disease marker structure evolution process, and it is difficult to exhaust and construct a complete template library in advance.
[0006] Generally speaking, the existing methods for identifying change points in the structural evolution characteristics of disease markers have problems in that they cannot effectively handle non-stationary and non-linear evolution characteristics, resulting in difficulties in comprehensively capturing the multi-dimensional feature changes in the evolution process. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Among them, to determine the structural feature evolution trajectory according to the time evolution coefficient and the intensity evolution coefficient, specifically, the time evolution coefficient and the intensity evolution coefficient are synthesized in direction to obtain the evolution direction and form the structural feature evolution trajectory; to calculate the correlation index of the structural feature evolution trajectory, specifically, the similarity between the trajectory points is calculated, the local correlation degree is statistically analyzed, and the overall correlation index is obtained.
[0013] Among them, the correlation index is numerically segmented to establish a structural feature piecewise function, and the characteristic mutation points of the structural feature piecewise function are identified; the structural feature contribution values at the characteristic mutation points are calculated, and the structural feature contribution values are used to characterize the evolution intensity of the structural features at the characteristic mutation points.
[0014] Among them, establishing the characteristic mapping relationship between the structural feature contribution value and the structural feature evolution trajectory specifically involves constructing a characteristic transformation matrix to map the structural feature contribution value to the evolution feature space; generating a characteristic evolution matrix, specifically arranging the characteristic mapping data in time sequence to construct a two-dimensional time sequence characteristic matrix.
[0015] Among them, calculating the evolution stability index based on the characteristic evolution matrix specifically involves analyzing the time sequence correlation of matrix elements, calculating the characteristic fluctuation degree, and evaluating the stability of the evolution process; determining the structural feature change points according to the evolution stability index, specifically setting a stability threshold, identifying the moment of index change, and determining the key points of feature change.

Specifically, this step analyzes the feature weight distribution diagram, selects the change points with higher feature weight values, and generates a change point time sequence table according to the time sequence. The purpose of this step is to present the key structural feature change point information in an intuitive form.
[0075] Step S12: Establish the time sequence correspondence relationship between the change point time sequence table and the structural evolution process of the disease biomarker, and output the determination result of the structural feature change point.

[0170] The traditional methods for determining the change points of the structural evolution characteristics of disease markers mainly include the following technical routes:
[0171] One is the method based on statistical analysis. This method calculates statistical features such as the mean and variance of the marker structure data and sets fixed statistical thresholds to judge the change points. The specific approach is to first segment the time series data, calculate the statistics of each segment, and when the statistics exceed the preset threshold, mark this time point as a change point. This method is simple to implement but difficult to handle the non-stationarity and sudden changes of the data.
[0172] Another is the method based on spectral analysis. This method transforms the time series data into the frequency domain space and identifies the change points by analyzing the spectral features. The specific approach is to use Fourier transform or wavelet transform to obtain the frequency composition of the data and locate the change points according to the change of spectral energy. This method can provide multi-scale analysis ability but has limitations in dealing with non-linear evolution processes.
[0173] There is also a method based on pattern recognition. This method constructs feature templates and uses pattern matching to identify the change points. The specific approach is to pre-define several typical change patterns and determine the change points by calculating the similarity between the data to be measured and the templates. This method relies on prior knowledge and is difficult to adapt to complex and changeable actual situations.
[0174] In contrast, the technical effects of the method of the present invention are reflected in the following aspects:
[0175] In the feature extraction step, the present invention adopts the method of combining two-dimensional transformed images with density distribution analysis, which can not only capture the instantaneous features of the marker structure but also reflect the overall characteristics in its evolution process. By establishing a polynomial fitting model, the accurate characterization of complex non-linear evolution processes is realized. This method overcomes the problem of insufficient processing ability of traditional statistical analysis methods for non-stationary data.
[0176] In the change point recognition stage, the present invention introduces a dual evaluation mechanism of time evolution coefficient and intensity evolution coefficient. Through the construction of the structural feature evolution trajectory, the multi-dimensional characterization of change features is realized. This method breaks through the limitation of traditional spectrum analysis methods that only focus on single-dimensional features.
[0177] In the result evaluation stage, the present invention establishes a mapping relationship between the feature contribution value and the evolution feature, uses the feature evolution matrix to describe the overall evolution characteristics of the system, and conducts quantitative evaluation through the evolution stability index. This method overcomes the defect of traditional pattern recognition methods that overly rely on empirical knowledge.
[0178] In practical applications, the method of the present invention exhibits the following advantages: First, the method has strong adaptability and does not require a large number of empirical parameters to be set artificially. It can automatically adjust the analysis strategy according to the data characteristics. Second, the method has good anti-interference ability. Through the multi-level feature extraction and analysis mechanism, the influence of noise on the results is effectively reduced. Third, the calculation process of the method has a clear physical meaning, and each step can trace its biological interpretation, improving the reliability and interpretability of the results.
[0179] In addition, the method of the present invention also realizes the hierarchical recognition of change points. Through the division of major change points and minor change points, more detailed information is provided for the in-depth study of the structural evolution characteristics of disease markers. This hierarchical recognition mechanism is difficult to achieve in traditional methods.
[0180] Generally speaking, through innovative theoretical design and algorithm implementation, the method of the present invention is significantly superior to traditional methods in terms of data processing ability, feature extraction accuracy, reliability of change point recognition, etc., providing more powerful technical support for the research on the structural evolution characteristics of disease markers.
[0181] Next, a specific Embodiment 1 of the present invention is provided. The specific implementation manners of each step in this Embodiment 1 are described in detail as follows: Step S01, obtain the time-series structural feature data of disease markers, and preprocess the time-series structural feature data of disease markers to eliminate noise interference. This step first uses a bio-mass spectrometry system to obtain marker sample data, record the mass spectrometry map information of the markers, collect the marker structure information, and perform time-series integration on the mass spectrometry map information and the marker structure information to form the time-series structural feature data of disease markers. Then, perform multi-scale decomposition on the original data, remove the high-frequency components, eliminate random fluctuations, and perform data normalization processing to eliminate noise interference and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the data. The purpose of this step is to obtain and preprocess the original structural evolution feature data of disease markers, laying a foundation for subsequent feature analysis.
[0182] Step S02: Construct a feature transformation image of the time-series structural feature data of the disease marker, and calculate the feature density distribution in the feature transformation image. In this step, a time-intensity coordinate system is first established for the preprocessed time-series data, the data points are made continuous to generate a time-series grayscale image. Then, the local peak points in the image are identified, the number distribution of the peak points is statistically analyzed, the distances between the peak points are calculated, and a peak point distribution function is formed, thereby obtaining a feature density distribution function. where D(x, y) is the feature density distribution function, P ij is the intensity of the peak point, d ij is the distance between the peak points, (x i , y i ) is the coordinate of the i-th peak point, α, β are attenuation coefficients, and n, m are the numbers of peak points. The purpose of this step is to extract the key information of the time-series structural features of the disease marker and lay a foundation for subsequent model construction and analysis.
[0183] Step S03: Based on the feature density distribution, establish a structural feature fitting model, and calculate the time evolution coefficient and intensity evolution coefficient of the structural feature fitting model. In this step, first, the characteristic points of the distribution curve are selected, the fitting coefficients are determined, and the fitting parameters are adjusted to obtain a structural feature fitting model. where φ k (t) is the basis function, ψ k (t) is the orthogonal basis function, a k , b k are the fitting coefficients, λ is the smoothing parameter, η(t) is the random error term, and K is the number of basis functions. Then, the first-order change rate is calculated in the time dimension as the time evolution coefficient. where γ is the time scale parameter; the second-order change rate is calculated in the intensity dimension as the intensity evolution coefficient. where μ is the intensity scale parameter and ξ is the intensity correction term. The purpose of this step is to establish a mathematical model describing the evolution process of the marker structural features and provide a theoretical basis for subsequent feature analysis.
[0184] Step S04: Determine the structural feature evolution trajectory according to the time evolution coefficient and the intensity evolution coefficient, and calculate the correlation degree index of the structural feature evolution trajectory. In this step, first, the time evolution coefficient and the intensity evolution coefficient are combined in direction to obtain an evolution direction, forming a structural feature evolution trajectory. where is the unit vector in the time direction, is the unit vector in the intensity direction, and ω(t) is the trajectory fluctuation term. Then, the similarity between the trajectory points is calculated, the local correlation degree is statistically analyzed, and the overall correlation degree index is obtained. where ρ k is the correlation weight, τ is the time decay constant, σk where σ is the standard deviation and N is the number of reference points. The purpose of this step is to characterize the temporal evolution process and internal relationships of the marker structure features, providing basic data for subsequent change point identification.
[0185] Step S05: Numerically segment the correlation degree index, establish a piecewise function of the structure features, and identify the characteristic mutation points of the piecewise function of the structure features. This step first sets the segmentation values according to the distribution of the correlation degree index, divides the correlation degree index into intervals, and analyzes the interval data. Then, function fitting is performed on the segmented interval data, and smoothing processing is carried out at the interval connection points to construct a piecewise composite function where f i (t) is the interval fitting function, q i (t) is the transition function, u(t) is the unit step function, t i is the segmentation point, ζ(t) is the segmentation error term, and I is the number of segments. Then, the derivative of the piecewise function is calculated, the position of the derivative jump is detected, and the position of the characteristic mutation point is determined where η is the sensitivity parameter and λ is the weight of the high-order derivative. The purpose of this step is to identify the key turning points in the evolution process of the marker structure features, providing a basis for subsequent feature contribution analysis.
[0186] Step S06: Calculate the contribution value of the structure features at the characteristic mutation points, where the contribution value of the structure features is used to characterize the evolution intensity of the structure features at the characteristic mutation points. This step analyzes the changes in the feature quantities before and after the characteristic mutation points, calculates the local gradient, evaluates the impact of the characteristic mutation points on the structure evolution, and obtains the contribution value of the structure features where V(p) is the contribution value at the characteristic mutation point p, ΔF(p) is the sudden change amount of the function value, is the gradient value, δ is the scale parameter, h j (p) is the local feature function, w j is the weight coefficient, and J is the number of feature functions. The purpose of this step is to quantify the importance of the marker structure features at the mutation points, providing a basis for subsequent feature screening.
[0187] Step S07: Establish the feature mapping relationship between the contribution value of the structure features and the evolution trajectory of the structure features, and generate a feature evolution matrix. This step first constructs a feature transformation matrix where V i is the feature contribution value, x i , y j are the feature space coordinates, σ q is the space scale parameter, γ ijFor conversion correction terms. Then arrange the feature mapping data in time series to construct a two-dimensional time series feature matrix, that is, the feature evolution matrix. The purpose of this step is to establish the mapping relationship between the marker structure features and the evolution trajectory, and provide a data basis for subsequent evolution stability analysis.
[0188] Step S08, calculate the evolution stability index based on the feature evolution matrix, and determine the structural feature change points according to the evolution stability index. This step first analyzes the time series correlation of the matrix elements where M k (t) is the time series of matrix elements, φ(t1,t2) is the correlation correction term, and K is the feature dimension. Then calculate the feature fluctuation degree where M(t) is the matrix element, T is the time window length, and α v is the acceleration weight. Finally, calculate the evolution stability index according to the time series correlation and the feature fluctuation degree where N is the total number of matrix elements, θ is the time scale parameter, and κ is the diffusion coefficient. Set the stability threshold, identify the moment of index change, and determine the structural feature change points. The purpose of this step is to identify the key stages in the evolution process of the marker structure features through a data-driven method, and provide a basis for subsequent classification of change points.
[0189] Step S09, perform hierarchical clustering on the structural feature change points to determine the main structural feature change points and the secondary structural feature change points. This step first groups the change points and calculates the inter-group difference where is the k-dimensional feature of the i-th point, w k is the feature weight, W(p) is the change point weight, and β is the weight difference coefficient. Then divide the levels of the change points according to the grouping results, and determine the main change points and the secondary change points. The purpose of this step is to conduct a more detailed analysis and description of the evolution process of the marker structure features, and lay a foundation for subsequent extraction of key features.
[0190] Step S10, calculate the feature weight values of the main structural feature change points, and construct a feature weight distribution map. This step analyzes the concentration trend of the weights of the main change points, selects the change points with higher feature weight values, and calculates the weight values where g l (p) is the local weight function, c l is the clustering center, and α lis the weight coefficient, σ is the spatial scale parameter, β is the contribution value weight, and L is the number of clusters. Then, a feature weight distribution map is generated to visually display the feature importance of key change points. The purpose of this step is to identify the key feature change points in the structural evolution of the biomarker and provide support for the subsequent result output.
[0191] Step S11: Identify key structural feature change points based on the feature weight distribution map and generate a change point time series table. This step analyzes the feature weight distribution map, selects the change points with higher feature weight values, and generates a change point time series table according to the time sequence. The purpose of this step is to present the information of key structural feature change points in an intuitive form and provide data support for clinical applications.
[0192] Step S12: Establish a time sequence correspondence relationship between the change point time series table and the structural evolution process of the disease biomarker, and output the determination result of the structural feature change point. This step matches the change point time sequence with the biomarker structural evolution stage to establish a time sequence relationship. where s k is the reference time point, τ k is the time scale, f k (t, s) is the local correspondence function, α k is the correspondence weight, and η L is the correspondence error term. Finally, an analysis result is formed and the determination information of the biomarker structural feature change point is output. The purpose of this step is to associate the analysis result with the actual structural evolution process of the disease biomarker and provide support for clinical applications.
[0193] The following provides Example 2 of a specific application scenario of the present invention:
[0194] A biomedical research institution hopes to use the disease biomarker structural evolution feature analysis technology to provide a basis for the early diagnosis of a certain rare disease. The institution extracts a key biomarker from clinical samples and systematically tests its time sequence structural features using a bio-mass spectrometry system. The following is the specific process of the institution using the method of the present invention for biomarker structural evolution feature analysis.
[0195] First, the researchers obtained the time sequence structural feature data of the biomarker. Specifically, they continuously collected samples of 20 healthy subjects and 30 patients with this disease using a bio-mass spectrometry system, recorded the mass spectrometry map information and structural information of the biomarker, and integrated these data according to the time sequence to form a biomarker time sequence structural feature database. Table 1 shows the sample situation of some biomarker structural feature data.
[0196] Table 1 Sample of biomarker structural feature data
[0197]
[0198] Among them, represents the structural feature value of the j-th type of sample (1 for healthy and 2 for patient) at the i-th time point.
[0199] For the obtained original data, the researchers first performed preprocessing with the aim of eliminating noise interference. The specific approach is as follows:
[0200] 1) Perform multi-scale decomposition on the original data and decompose it into components of different frequency bands through wavelet transform.
[0201] 2) Suppress the high-frequency components to remove the noise influence caused by random fluctuations.
[0202] 3) Standardize the preprocessed data to eliminate the influence of dimension.
[0203] After the above preprocessing, the researchers obtained clean time-series structural feature data of the biomarker, laying a foundation for subsequent feature analysis.
[0204] Next, the researchers constructed a two-dimensional transformed image of the time-series structural features of the biomarker. The specific approach is as follows:
[0205] 1) Establish a time-intensity coordinate system for the preprocessed time-series data, with the x-axis representing time and the y-axis representing feature intensity.
[0206] 2) Continuously process the data points to generate a grayscale image. Figure 1 The transformed image of the time-series structural features of this biomarker is given.
[0207] 3) Analyze this image and find that there are a large number of local peak points, indicating that there are multiple dense regions in the time evolution process of the biomarker structure.
[0208] 4) Statistically analyze the quantity distribution and spatial distance of these peak points, and calculate the feature density distribution function D(x, y). According to the formula:
[0209]
[0210] where P ij is the intensity of the i-th peak point, d ij is the distance between the i-th and j-th peak points, (x i , y i ) is the coordinate of the i-th peak point, α, β are attenuation coefficients, and n, m are the number of peak points. The researchers calculated D(x, y) = 0.214.
[0211] Such as Figure 2The figure shows the changing trends of the temporal structural characteristics of healthy samples and patient samples. The horizontal axis represents time t (unit: minute), and the vertical axis represents the feature intensity F(t) (unit: μm^-1). The blue solid line represents the changing trend of healthy samples, and the red dashed line represents the changing trend of patient samples. It can be seen from the figure that the two groups of samples show different changing patterns during the time evolution process.
[0212] Next, the researchers established a structural feature fitting model based on the feature density distribution. The specific steps are as follows:
[0213] 1) Select Figure 1 several feature-dense regions in k as key feature points, such as (t1, F1), (t2, F2),..., (t k ), F
[0214] 2) Use a polynomial function for fitting to obtain the structural feature fitting model F(t):
[0215]
[0216] where φ k (t) is the basis function, ψ k (t) is the orthogonal basis function, a k , b k are the fitting coefficients, λ is the smoothing parameter, η(t) is the random error term, and K is the number of basis functions. By adjusting the fitting parameters, the researchers finally obtained t(t) = 0.372t 2 + 0.108t + 0.894.
[0217] 3) Calculate the first-order change rate in the time dimension as the time evolution coefficient C t :
[0218]
[0219] where γ is the time scale parameter, and the researchers took γ = 0.2.
[0220] 4) Calculate the second-order change rate in the intensity dimension as the intensity evolution coefficient C i :
[0221]
[0222] where μ is the intensity scale parameter, and the researchers took μ = 0.3, ξ = 0.05.
[0223] Through the above steps, the researchers obtained the time evolution coefficient and intensity evolution coefficient of the biomarker structural characteristics, laying a foundation for the subsequent construction of the evolution trajectory.
[0224] Based on the time evolution coefficient and the intensity evolution coefficient, the researchers began to determine the evolution trajectory of the marker structural characteristics. The specific approach is as follows:
[0225] 1) Synthesize the directions of the time evolution coefficient and the intensity evolution coefficient to obtain the evolution direction vector
[0226] 2) Integrate and calculate the evolution trajectory function T(t) according to the formula:
[0227]
[0228] where ω(t) is the trajectory fluctuation term, and the researchers take ω(t) = 0.01t.
[0229] As Figure 3 shown, it presents the evolution trajectory of the marker structural characteristics in the space coordinate system. The horizontal axis and the vertical axis represent the space coordinates x and y (unit: μm) respectively. The blue curve represents the evolution trajectory, and the red scatter points mark the positions of two key turning points (t = 3.6 and t = 7.2). It can be clearly seen from the figure that significant changes in the structural characteristics occurred at these two time points.
[0230] 3) Calculate the similarity between points on the evolution trajectory, statistically analyze the local correlation degree, and obtain the overall correlation degree index R(t):
[0231]
[0232] where ρ k = 2.14 is the correlation weight, τ = 0.5 is the time decay constant, σ k = 0.3 is the standard deviation, and N = 20 is the number of reference points.
[0233] After the above calculations, the researchers obtained the evolution trajectory of the marker structural characteristics and its correlation degree index. Next, they carried out a numerical piecewise analysis on the correlation degree index to identify the key turning points in the marker structure evolution process.
[0234] 1) According to the distribution characteristics of the correlation degree index, set the piecewise threshold H(r) = 1.78. Divide the correlation degree index into a high - correlation interval and a low - correlation interval.
[0235] 2) For the high - correlation interval, use a smooth polynomial function f i (t) for fitting; for the low - correlation interval, use a transition function q i (t) for connection.
[0236] 3) Construct the piecewise composite function G(t):
[0237]
[0238] Among them, u(t) is the unit step function, and t i is the segmentation point, ζ(t) is the segmentation error term, and I = 3 is the number of segments.
[0239] 4) Calculate the second derivative and the third derivative of the piecewise function G(t), and it is found that obvious jumps occur at t = 3.6 and t = 7.2, which are identified as the key turning points of the marker structure characteristics.
[0240] Through the above steps, the researchers successfully identified two key change points in the marker structure evolution process. To further quantify the importance of these change points, they calculated the contribution values of the structural characteristics of these points:
[0241]
[0242] Among them, h1(p) and h2(p) are local characteristic functions, and δ = 0.5 is the scale parameter. It can be seen that the change at the moment of 3.6 has a greater impact on the marker structure evolution.
[0243] The researchers further established the mapping relationship between the contribution value of the structural characteristics and the evolution trajectory, and constructed the characteristic evolution matrix M:
[0244]
[0245] Among them, are the coordinates of the change point and the evolution trajectory in the feature space respectively.
[0246] Based on the characteristic evolution matrix, the researchers calculated the stability index S(t) of the evolution process:
[0247]
[0248] Among them, M k is the k-th element of the matrix, θ = 0.3 is the time scale parameter, κ = 0.1 is the diffusion coefficient, and N = 80 is the total number of matrix elements.
[0249] As Figure 4 shown, it shows the change of the stability index S(t) of the marker structure characteristics over time. The horizontal axis represents time t (unit: minute), and the vertical axis represents the stability index S(t). The red dashed line marks the main change point (t = 3.6), and the green dashed line marks the secondary change point (t = 7.2). It can be observed from the figure that the stability index decreases significantly at these two time points.
[0250] The researchers found that S(t) decreased significantly near t = 3.6 and t = 7.2, indicating that the structural characteristics of the biomarker changed greatly at these two time points. Combining with the feature contribution values calculated previously, they determined that these two time points were the key change points in the structural evolution of the biomarker.
[0251] Finally, the researchers conducted further analysis on these two main change points. First, they calculated the feature weight values of these two change points:
[0252]
[0253] where g1(p), g2(p) are local weight functions, c1, c2 are cluster centers, and σ = 0.2 is the spatial scale parameter. It can be seen that the change point at time 3.6 has a higher feature weight.
[0254] According to the feature weight distribution, the researchers identified that the change point at time 3.6 was the key turning point in the structural evolution of the biomarker. They organized this result in the form of a time sequence table as follows:
[0255] Table 2 Time Sequence Table of Change Points in Biomarker Structural Characteristics
[0256] Change point time Feature weight value Degree of change t=3.6 2.41 Main change point t=7.2 2.07 Minor change point
[0257] Finally, the researchers conducted a corresponding analysis of the time sequence table of change points and the process of biomarker structural evolution, forming a complete analysis result. Specifically, as shown in Table 3.
[0258] Table 3 Analysis Results of Biomarker Structural Evolution
[0259] Time period Structural feature change situation t<3.6 The structure of the marker changes slowly and tends to be stable as a whole 3.6≤t<7.2 The structure of the marker changes violently and a major turning point appears t≥7.2 The structure of the marker enters a new evolutionary stage and minor changes occur
[0260] In summary, the method of the present invention successfully identified two key change points in the structural evolution of the biomarker, where the change at time 3.6 was the main turning point, having a greater impact on the overall evolution process. This result provides an important basis for subsequent disease diagnosis.
[0261] Technical Principle: The core principle of the method of the present invention is to construct a mathematical model that can comprehensively describe the structural evolution characteristics of disease biomarkers, and identify key change points based on this model. Specifically, this method is achieved through the following steps:
[0262] First, the instantaneous features of the biomarker structure are extracted by means of two-dimensional transformed images, and the feature density distribution is calculated. This method can not only capture the local features of the biomarker structure but also reflect the law of its overall evolution. Compared with traditional one-dimensional time series data analysis, two-dimensional transformation can provide more abundant information.
[0263] Secondly, a structural feature fitting model is established, and the time evolution coefficient and the intensity evolution coefficient are calculated simultaneously. These two coefficients respectively characterize the change trends of the marker structure in the time and intensity dimensions, providing a basis for constructing the subsequent evolution trajectory. Compared with single statistics or spectral features, this multi-dimensional description ability is more comprehensive.
[0264] Then, based on the time evolution coefficient and the intensity evolution coefficient, a structural feature evolution trajectory is constructed, and the correlation degree index of the trajectory is calculated. The trajectory describes the overall trend of the marker structure in the spatio-temporal evolution process, and the correlation degree index reflects the consistency of the evolution process. This lays an important foundation for the subsequent identification of change points.
[0265] Next, by numerically segmenting the correlation degree index, a structural feature piecewise function is established, and the characteristic mutation points of the function are identified. The mutation points represent the key turning points in the evolution process of the marker structure and are the direct basis for change point identification. This piecewise analysis can better capture the key features in the non-linear evolution process.
[0266] Furthermore, the contribution value of the structural features of the characteristic mutation points is calculated, and the mapping relationship between the contribution value of the features and the evolution trajectory is established. This step quantifies the influence degree of the mutation points on the overall evolution and provides a basis for the subsequent change point evaluation. Compared with the traditional pattern matching method, this feature contribution-based method is more in line with the physical mechanism.
[0267] Finally, based on the feature evolution matrix, the stability of the evolution process is analyzed, and the key change points are determined in combination with the feature weight distribution. The stability index can reflect the smoothness of the marker structure evolution, while the feature weight distribution reveals the importance of the key feature changes. Through the comprehensive analysis of these two dimensions, the key stages of the marker structure evolution can be accurately identified.
