DissimDistance: The Dissim distance is calculated.

In TSdist: Distance Measures for Time Series Data

The Dissim distance is calculated.

Description

Computes the Dissim distance between a pair of numeric series.

Usage

DissimDistance(x, y, tx, ty)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector containing the first time series.
y	Numeric vector containing the second time series.
tx	If not constant, a numeric vector that specifies the sampling index of series x.
ty	If not constant, a numeric vector that specifies the sampling index of series y.

Details

The Dissim distance is obtained by calculating the integral of the Euclidean distance between the two series. The series are assumed to be linear between sampling points.

The two series must start and end in the same interval but they may have different and non-constant sampling rates. These sampling rates must be positive and strictly increasing. For more information see reference below.

Value

d	The computed distance between the pair of series.
