In HistDAWass: Histogram-Valued Data Analysis

Histogram-Valued Data Analysis

Description

We consider histogram-valued data, i.e., data described by univariate histograms. The methods and the basic statistics for histogram-valued data are mainly based on the L2 Wasserstein metric between distributions, i.e., a Euclidean metric between quantile functions. The package contains unsupervised classification techniques, least square regression and tools for histrogram-valued data and for histogram time series.

# Generating a list of distributions

a[[1]] <- distributionH(
  x = c(80, 100, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 200, 240),
  p = c(0, 0.025, 0.1, 0.275, 0.525, 0.725, 0.887, 0.975, 1)
)
a[[2]] <- distributionH(
  x = c(80, 100, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210, 240),
  p = c(0, 0.013, 0.101, 0.255, 0.508, 0.718, 0.895, 0.961, 0.987, 1)
