gapCreation: Gap creation

In DTWBI: Imputation of Time Series Based on Dynamic Time Warping

Gap creation

Description

This function creates a large continuous gap within a univariate signal. Gap size is defined as a percentage of input vector length. By default, the created gap starts at a random location.

Usage

gapCreation(X, rate, begin = NULL)

Arguments

X	input vector
rate	size of desired gap, as a percentage of input vector size
begin	location of the beginning of the gap (random by default)

Value

A list containing the following elements:

output_vector	Output vector containing the created gap.
input_vector	Original vector used as input.
begin_gap	Index of the beginning of the gap.
rate	Size of the created gap as a percentage of the input vector length.
gap_size	Length of the created gap.

Examples

data(dataDTWBI)
X <- dataDTWBI[, 1]
rate <- 0.1
output <- gapCreation(X, rate)
plot(output$input_vector, type = "l", col = "red", lwd = 2)
lines(output$output_vector, lty = "dashed", lwd = 2)
