This package provides a comprehensive set of time series distance measures published in the literature and some additional functions which, although initially not designed for this purpose, can be used to measure the dissimilarity between time series. These measures can be used to perform clustering, classification or other data mining tasks which require the definition of a distance measure between time series. Some of the measures are specifically implemented for this package while other are originally hosted in other R packages. The measures included are:

• Lp distances LPDistance

• Distance based on the cross-correlation CCorDistance

• Short Time Series distance (STS) STSDistance

• Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) DTWDistance

• LB_Keogh lower bound for the Dynamic Time Warping distance LBKeoghDistance

• Edit Distance for Real Sequences (EDR) EDRDistance

• Longest Common Subsequence distance for real sequences(LCSS) LCSSDistance

• Edit Distance based on Real Penalty (ERP) ERPDistance

• Distance based on the Fourier Discrete Transform FourierDistance

• TQuest distance TquestDistance

• Dissim distance DissimDistance

• Autocorrelation-based dissimilarity ACFDistance.

• Partial autocorrelation-based dissimilarity PACFDistance.

• Dissimilarity based on LPC cepstral coefficients ARLPCCepsDistance.

• Model-based dissimilarity proposed by Maharaj (1996, 2000) ARMahDistance.

• Model-based dissimilarity proposed by Piccolo (1990) ARPicDistance.

• Compression-based dissimilarity measure CDMDistance.

• Complexity-invariant distance measure CIDDistance.

• Dissimilarities based on Pearson's correlation CorDistance.

• Dissimilarity index which combines temporal correlation and raw value behaviors CortDistance.

• Integrated periodogram based dissimilarity IntPerDistance.

• Periodogram based dissimilarity PerDistance.

• Symbolic Aggregate Aproximation based dissimilarity MindistSaxDistance.

• Normalized compression based distance NCDDistance.

• Dissimilarity measure cased on nonparametric forecasts PredDistance.

• Dissimilarity based on the integrated squared difference between the log-spectra SpecISDDistance.

• General spectral dissimilarity measure using local-linear estimation of the log-spectra SpecLLRDistance.

• Permutation Distribution Distance PDCDistance.

• Frechet distance FrechetDistance.

All the measures are implemented in separate functions but can also be invoked by means of the wrapper function TSDistances. Moreover, this distance enables the use of time series objects of type ts, zoo and xts.

As an additional functionality of the package, pairwise distances between all the time series in a database can be easily computed by using the dist function from the proxy package or the TSDatabaseDistances function included in the TSdist package.
