Variable Penalty Dynamic Time Warping

Variable Penalty Dynamic Time Warping for aligning GC-MS chromatograms to a master signal and more. With the appropriate penalty this method performs good alignment without altering the shape of peaks in chromatography data.

Installation

Please install the package in R directly using the commands:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("david-clifford/VPdtw")
