In the midst of the deep learning hype, p-values might not be the hottest topic in data science. However, association mapping remains a fundamental tool to justify and underpin scientific conclusions. Inspired by an approach for time series classification based on predictive subsequences (i.e shapelets [1]), we developed S3M, a method that identifies short time series subsequences that are statistically associated with a class or phenotype while tackling the multiple hypothesis problem.
