In TSclust: Time Series Clustering Utilities

Autocorrelation-based Dissimilarity

Description

Computes the dissimilarity between two time series as the distance between their estimated simple (ACF) or partial (PACF) autocorrelation coefficients.

Usage

diss.ACF(x, y, p = NULL, omega=NULL, lag.max=50)
diss.PACF(x, y, p = NULL, omega=NULL, lag.max=50)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector containing the first of the two time series.
y	Numeric vector containing the second of the two time series.
p	If not NULL, sets the weight for the geometric decaying of the autocorrelation coefficients. Ranging from 0 to 1.
lag.max	Maximum number of simple or partial autocorrelation coefficients to be considered.
omega	If not NULL, completely specifies the weighting matrix for the autocorrelation coefficients. p is ignored if omega is used.

Details

Performs the weighted Euclidean distance between the simple autocorrelation ( dist.ACF) or partial autocorrelation ( dist.PACF ) coefficients. If neither p nor omega are specified, uniform weighting is used. If p is specified, geometric wights decaying with the lag in the form p(1-p)^i are applied. If omega (\Omega) is specified,

d(x,y) = {\{ ( \hat{\rho}_{x} - \hat{\rho}_{y} )^t \bm{\Omega} (\hat{\rho}_{x} - \hat{\rho}_{y} ) \}}^\frac{1}{2}

with \hat{\rho}_{x} and \hat{\rho}_{y} the respective (partial) autocorrelation coefficient vectors.

Value

The computed distance.

Examples

## Create three sample time series
x <- cumsum(rnorm(100))
y <- cumsum(rnorm(100))
z <- sin(seq(0, pi, length.out=100))
## Compute the distance and check for coherent results
diss.PACF(x, y)
diss.ACF(x, z)
diss.PACF(y, z)
#create a dist object for its use with clustering functions like pam or hclust
diss( rbind(x,y,z), "ACF", p=0.05)
