Time Series Analysis Package

Optional Arguments

You can also specify the following arguments, separated by commas. If you want to use a default value for any of these arguments, enter a space for it.

'type'

specifies the similarity measure.

You can specify the following values within single quotation marks:

ABSDEV

specifies the absolute deviation.

MABSDEV

specifies the mean absolute deviation.

MABSDEVINP

specifies the mean absolute deviation relative to the length of the input sequence.

MABSDEVMAX

specifies the mean absolute deviation relative to the maximum valid path length.

MABSDEVMIN

specifies the mean absolute deviation relative to the minimum valid path length.

MABSDEVTAR

specifies the mean absolute deviation relative to the length of the target sequence.

MSQRDEV

specifies the mean squared deviation.

MSQRDEVINP

specifies the mean squared deviation relative to the length of the input sequence.

MSQRDEVMAX

specifies the mean squared deviation relative to the maximum valid path length.

MSQRDEVMIN

specifies the mean squared deviation relative to the minimum valid path length.

MSQRDEVTAR

specifies the mean squared deviation relative to the length of the target sequence.

SQRDEV

specifies the squared deviation.

The default value is SQRDEV.

'scale'

specifies how the working input sequence is scaled with respect to the working target sequence. Scaling is performed after normalization.

You can specify the following values within single quotation marks:

ABS

applies absolute scaling.

NONE

applies no scaling.

STD

applies standard scaling.

The default value is NONE.

expandpct

specifies the warping expansion as a percentage of the length of the target sequence, where expandpct ranges from 0 to 100, 0 implies no compression, and 100 implies maximum allowable compression. The default value is 100.

expandabs

specifies the absolute warping expansion, where expandabs is an integer that ranges from 0 to 10,000. The default is the maximum allowable absolute expansion.

compresspct

specifies the warping compression as a percentage of the length of the target sequence, where compresspct ranges from 0 to 100, 0 implies no compression, and 100 implies maximum allowable compression. The default value is 100.

compressabs

specifies the absolute warping compression, where compressabs is an integer that ranges from 0 to 10,000. The default is the maximum allowable absolute compression.
