Abstract
Given a timed automaton which admits thick components and a timed word w, we present a tester which decides if w is in the language of the automaton or if w is \(\epsilon \)-far from the language, using finitely many samples taken from the weighted time distribution \(\mu \) associated with the input w. We introduce a distance between timed words, the timed edit distance, which generalizes the classical edit distance. A timed word w is \(\epsilon \)-far from a timed language if its relative distance to the language is greater than \(\epsilon \).
