dtwPlot: Plotting of dynamic time warp results

Description

Methods for plotting dynamic time warp alignment objects returned by dtw.

Usage

# S3 method for dtw
plot(x, type="alignment", ...)

# an alias for dtw.plot dtwPlot(x, type="alignment", ...)

dtwPlotAlignment(d, xlab="Query index", ylab="Reference index", plot.type="l", ...) dtwPlotDensity(d, normalize=FALSE, xlab="Query index", ylab="Reference index", ...)

Arguments

x,d

dtw object, usually result of call to dtw

xlab

label for the query axis

ylab

label for the reference axis

type

general style for the alignment plot

plot.type

type of line to be drawn, used as the type argument in the underlying plot call

normalize

show per-step average cost instead of cumulative cost

...

additional arguments, passed to plotting functions

Warning

These functions are incompatible with mechanisms for arranging plots on a device: par(mfrow), layout and split.screen.

Details

dtwPlot displays alignment contained in dtw objects.

Various plotting styles are available, passing strings to the type argument (may be abbreviated):

  • alignmentplots the warping curve in d

  • twowayplots a point-by-point comparison, with matching lines

  • threewayvis-a-vis inspection of the timeseries and their warping curve

  • densitydisplays the cumulative cost landscape with the warping path overimposed

For two-way plotting, see documentation for function dtwPlotTwoWay.

For three-way plotting, see documentation for function dtwPlotThreeWay.

If normalize is TRUE, the average cost per step is plotted instead of the cumulative one. Step averaging depends on the stepPattern used.

Additional parameters are carried on to the plotting functions: use with care.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
## Same example as in dtw

idx<-seq(0,6.28,len=100);
query<-sin(idx)+runif(100)/10;
reference<-cos(idx)

alignment<-dtw(query,reference,keep=TRUE);


## A profile of the cumulative distance matrix
## Contour plot of the global cost

dtwPlotDensity(alignment,
  main="Sine/cosine: symmetric  alignment, no constraints")

## A study of the "Itakura" parallelogram
##
## A widely held misconception is that the "Itakura parallelogram" (as
## described in the original article) is a global constraint.  Instead,
## it arises from local slope restrictions. Anyway, an "itakuraWindow",
## is provided in this package. A comparison between the two follows.


## The local constraint: three sides of the parallelogram are seen

dtw(query,reference,keep=TRUE,step=typeIIIc)->ita;
dtwPlot(ita,type="density",
        main="Slope-limited asymmetric step (Itakura)")

## Symmetric step with global parallelogram-shaped constraint. Note how
## long (>2 steps) horizontal stretches are allowed within the window.

dtw(query,reference,keep=TRUE,window=itakuraWindow)->ita;
dtwPlot(ita,type="density",
        main="Symmetric step with Itakura parallelogram window")
