 Return the matrix profile and the profile indices of time series `T` with window length `m`. See fields `profile.P, profile.I`. You can also plot the profile. If `dist = ZEuclidean()` the STOMP algorithm will be used.
 
+- `exclusion_zone` denotes an integer number of samples around the trivial match to avoid. The paper suggests using `exclusion_zone = m ÷ 4`. This is likely most beneficial for time-series dominated by low frequencies.
