Description

This check divides the data into blocks, estimates their probability density functions by histograms and compares them by using the Earth Movers Distance.

Usage

1
qat_analyse_histogram_test_emd_1d(measurement_vector, blocksize, numofbars)

Arguments

measurement_vector

The measurement vector, which should be tested

blocksize

Number of elements in the first dimension, which should be used for each block

numofbars

Number of bins of the histogram

Details

The vector will be divided into blocks, with a length given by the parameter blocksize. From these blocks histograms are computed and afterwards compared. As a metric for the comparison the Earth Movers Distance is used. As a result a field is generated, which includes the results of the comparison between every combination of blocks.

Value

It returns a list with the following entries:

field

Result matrix of the comparison.

blocksize

Size of blocks in the first dimension.

numofbars

Number of bins of the used histograms.

metric

Used metric in the comparisons.

runs

Number of blocks, which are compared.
