curve_to_q: Curve to SRVF Space

In fdasrvf: Elastic Functional Data Analysis

Curve to SRVF Space

Description

This function computes the SRVF of a given curve. The function also outputs the length of the original curve and the L^2 norm of the SRVF.

Usage

curve_to_q(beta, scale = TRUE)

Arguments

beta	A numeric matrix of shape L \times M specifying a curve on an L-dimensional space observed on M points.
scale	A boolean value specifying whether the output SRVF function should be scaled to the hypersphere of L^2. When scale is TRUE, the length of the original curve becomes irrelevant. Defaults to TRUE.

Value

A list with the following components:

• q: A numeric matrix of the same shape as the input matrix beta storing the (possibly scaled) SRVF of the original curve beta;

• len: A numeric value specifying the length of the original curve;

• lenq: A numeric value specifying the L^2 norm of the SRVF of the original curve.
