dtwPlotThreeWay {dtw}

Plotting of dynamic time warp results: annotated warping function

Description

Display the query and reference time series and their warping curve, arranged for visual inspection.

Usage

dtwPlotThreeWay(
  d,
  xts = NULL,
  yts = NULL,
  type.align = "l",
  type.ts = "l",
  match.indices = NULL,
  margin = 4,
  inner.margin = 0.2,
  title.margin = 1.5,
  xlab = "Query index",
  ylab = "Reference index",
  main = "Timeseries alignment",
  ...
)

Arguments

d

an alignment result, object of class dtw

xts

query vector

yts

reference vector

type.align

line style for warping curve plot

type.ts

line style for timeseries plot

match.indices

indices for which to draw a visual guide

margin

outer figure margin

inner.margin

inner figure margin

title.margin

space on the top of figure

xlab

label for the query axis

ylab

label for the reference axis

main

main title

...

additional arguments, used for the warping curve

Details

The query time series is plotted in the bottom panel, with indices growing rightwards and values upwards. Reference is in the left panel, indices growing upwards and values leftwards. The warping curve panel matches indices, and therefore element (1,1) will be at the lower left, (N,M) at the upper right.

Argument match.indices is used to draw a visual guide to matches; if a vector is given, guides are drawn for the corresponding indices in the warping curve (match lines). If integer, it is used as the number of guides to be plotted. The corresponding style is customized via the match.col and match.lty arguments.

If xts and yts are not supplied, they will be recovered from d, as long as it was created with the two-argument call of dtw() with keep.internals=TRUE. Only single-variate time series can be plotted.

Warning

The function is incompatible with mechanisms for arranging plots on a device: par(mfrow), layout and split.screen. Appearance of the match lines and timeseries currently can not be customized.

Examples

## A noisy sine wave as query
## A cosine is for reference; sin and cos are offset by 25 samples

idx<-seq(0,6.28,len=100);
query<-sin(idx)+runif(100)/10;
reference<-cos(idx)
dtw(query,reference,keep=TRUE)->alignment;


## Beware of the reference's y axis, may be confusing
## Equivalent to plot(alignment,type="three");
dtwPlotThreeWay(alignment);


## Highlight matches of chosen QUERY indices. We will do some index
## arithmetics to recover the corresponding indices along the warping
## curve

hq <- (0:8)/8              
hq <- round(hq*100)      #  indices in query for  pi/4 .. 7/4 pi

hw <- (alignment$index1 %in% hq)   # where are they on the w. curve?
hi <- (1:length(alignment$index1))[hw];   # get the indices of TRUE elems

dtwPlotThreeWay(alignment,match.indices=hi);
