1. A method comprising:
determining data values of a sequence of data stored in one or more databases supported on a stored program processing system, wherein the sequence of data comprises a series of values indicative of one or more occurrences or non-occurrences of an event obtained at successive times;
generating an intermediate data structure associated with the event as a string of symbols, wherein each symbol of the string of symbols corresponds to at least one data value of the sequence of data;
determining that each data value of the sequence of data indicates an occurrence of the event or a non-occurrence of the event;
representing, in the string of symbols of the intermediate data structure, respective data values of the sequence of data that indicate the occurrence of the event with a first symbol; and
representing, in the string of symbols of the intermediate data structure, respective data values of the sequence of data that indicate the non-occurrence of the event with a second symbol, wherein the intermediate data structure maintains an order of the first symbol and the second symbol based on the successive times of the sequence of data.
