TSdist (version 2.1)

cortDistance: Dissimilarity Index Combining Temporal Correlation and Raw Value Behaviors

Description

Computes the dissimilarity between two numeric series of the same length by combining the dissimilarity between the raw values and the dissimilarity between the temporal correlation behavior of the series.

Usage

cortDistance(x, y, ...)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector containing the first time series.

y

Numeric vector containing the second time series.

...

Additional parameters for the function. See diss.CORT for more information.

Value

• d
  The computed distance between the pair of series.

Details

This is simply a wrapper for the diss.CORT function of package TSclust. As such, all the functionalities of the diss.CORT function are also available when using this function.
