The literature on time-series clustering methods has increased considerably over the last two decades with a wide range of applications in many different fields, including geology, environmental sciences, finance, economics, and biomedical sciences. Clustering of time series can technically be put into three groups, viz., methods based on the actual observations, on features derived for the time series and on parameters estimates of fitted models. Selections of work from each of these three groups are presented together with some examples and applications.
