distantia_dtw_plot: Two-Way Dissimilarity Plots of Time Series Lists

In distantia: Advanced Toolset for Efficient Time Series Dissimilarity Analysis

Two-Way Dissimilarity Plots of Time Series Lists

Description

Plots two sequences, their distance or cost matrix, their least cost path, and all relevant values used to compute dissimilarity.

Unlike distantia(), this function does not accept vectors as inputs for the arguments to compute dissimilarity (distance, diagonal, and weighted), and only plots a pair of sequences at once.

The argument lock_step is not available because this plot does not make sense in such a case.

Usage

distantia_dtw_plot(
  tsl = NULL,
  distance = "euclidean",
  diagonal = TRUE,
  bandwidth = 1,
  matrix_type = "cost",
  matrix_color = NULL,
  path_width = 1,
  path_color = "black",
  diagonal_width = 1,
  diagonal_color = "white",
  line_color = NULL,
  line_width = 1,
  text_cex = 1
)

Arguments

tsl	(required, time series list) list of zoo time series. Default: NULL
distance	(optional, character vector) name or abbreviation of the distance method. Valid values are in the columns "names" and "abbreviation" of the dataset distances. Default: "euclidean".
diagonal	(optional, logical vector). If TRUE, diagonals are included in the dynamic time warping computation. Default: TRUE
bandwidth	(optional, numeric) Proportion of space at each side of the cost matrix diagonal (aka Sakoe-Chiba band) defining a valid region for dynamic time warping, used to control the flexibility of the warping path. This method prevents degenerate alignments due to differences in magnitude between time series when the data is not properly scaled. If 1 (default), DTW is unconstrained. If 0, DTW is fully constrained and the warping path follows the matrix diagonal. Recommended values may vary depending on the nature of the data. Ignored if lock_step = TRUE. Default: 1.
matrix_type	(optional, character string): one of "cost" or "distance" (the abbreviation "dist" is accepted as well). Default: "cost".
matrix_color	(optional, character vector) vector of colors for the distance or cost matrix. If NULL, uses the palette "Zissou 1" provided by the function grDevices::hcl.colors(). Default: NULL
path_width	(optional, numeric) width of the least cost path. Default: 1
path_color	(optional, character string) color of the least-cost path. Default: "black"
diagonal_width	(optional, numeric) width of the diagonal. Set to 0 to remove the diagonal line. Default: 0.5
diagonal_color	(optional, character string) color of the diagonal. Default: "white"
line_color	(optional, character vector) Vector of colors for the time series plot. If not provided, defaults to a subset of matrix_color.
line_width	(optional, numeric vector) Width of the time series plot. Default: 1
text_cex	(optional, numeric) Multiplier of the text size. Default: 1
