TSdist (version 3.7.1)

DTWDistance: Dynamic Time Warping distance.

Description

Computes the Dynamic Time Warping distance between a pair of numeric time series.

Usage

DTWDistance(x, y, ...)

Value

d

The computed distance between the pair of series.

Arguments

x

Numeric vector containing the first time series.

y

Numeric vector containing the second time series.

...

Additional parameters for the function. See dtw for more information.

Author

Details

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