Computes an adaptive dissimilarity index between two time series that covers both dissimilarity on raw values and dissimilarity on temporal correlation behaviors.

1	diss.CORT(x, y, k = 2, deltamethod="Euclid")

`x`	Numeric vector containing the first of the two time series.
`y`	Numeric vector containing the second of the two time series.
`k`	Parameter controlling the weight of the dissimilarity between dynamic behaviors (See Details).
`deltamethod`	Defines the method for the raw data discrepancy. Either `"Euclid"`, `"Frechet"` or `"DTW"`.

The dissimilarity between time series x and y is given by:

d(x,y) = Φ[CORT(x,y)] δ(x,y)

where:

CORT(x,y) measures the proximity between the dynamic behaviors of x and y by means of the first order temporal correlation coefficient defined by:

CORT(x,y) = ∑ ( ( x_(t+1) - x_t ) ( y_(t+1) - y_t ) ) / (√( ∑ (x_(t+1) - x_t)^2) √( ∑ (y_(t+1) - y_t)^2))

Φ[u] is an adaptive tuning function taking the form:

2/(1+exp(ku))

with k ≥q 0 so that both Φ and k modulate the weight that CORT(x,y) has on d(x,y).

δ(x,y) denotes a dissimilarity measure between the raw values of series x and y, such as the Euclidean distance, the Frechet distance or the Dynamic Time Warping distance. Note that d(x,y) = δ(x,y) if k=0.

More details of the procedure can be seen in Chouakria-Douzal and Nagabhushan (2007).

deltamethod (δ) can be either Euclidean (deltamethod = "Euclid"), Frechet ( deltamethod = "Frechet") or Dynamic Time Warping (deltamethod ="DTW") distances. When calling from dis.CORT, DTW uses Manhattan as local distance.

The computed distance.

## 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
