a. ID is the synthetic patient index. N is the number of daily events in a seed patient sequence

b. DTW, NWA and REF refer to as Dynamic Time Warping, Needleman-Wunsch Algorithm, and baseline reference, respectively

c. The lower case letters “x”, “u”, and “s” denote deleting, updating and switching a daily event, respectively. The upper case letters “X”, “U”, and “S” stand for deleting, updating and switching multi-day events (event block)
