A location of a sensor is determined by: (1) receiving time series data including components in a plurality of dimensions, wherein the time series data correspond to measurements of the sensor that is applied to a subject (2) determining a plurality of subsequences associated with the time series data, wherein each of the plurality of subsequences represents a characteristic pattern projected along one of the plurality of dimensions (3) identifying a correlated subset of the plurality of subsequences as at least one instance of an activity of the subject and (4) based on features of the correlated subset, determining the location of the sensor as applied to the subject.
