Nowadays a very important task in data mining is to understand how to collect the most informative data in a very amount of data. Once every single field of knowledge have lots of data to summarize in the most representative information, the time series approach is definitely a very strong way to represent and collect this information from it (12, 22). On other hand we need to have an appropriate tool to extract the most significant data from this time series. To help us we can use some similarity methods to know how similar is one time series from another In this work we will perform a research using some distance-based similarity methods and apply it in some clustering algorithms to do an assessment to see if there is a combination (distance-based similarity methods / clustering algorithm) that present a better performance in relation with all the others used in this work or if there exists one distancebased similarity method that shows a better performance between the others.
