binarization {otsfeatures}R Documentation

Constructs the binarized time series associated with a given ordinal time series

Description

binarization constructs the binarized time series associated with a given ordinal time series.

Usage

binarization(series, states)

Arguments

series

An OTS (numerical vector with integers).

states

A numeric vector containing the corresponding states.

Details

Given an OTS of length T with range \mathcal{S}=\{s_0, s_1, s_2, \ldots, s_n\} (s_0 < s_1 < s_2 < \ldots < s_n), \overline{X}_t=\{\overline{X}_1,\ldots, \overline{X}_T\}, the function constructs the binarized time series, which is defined as \overline{\boldsymbol Y}_t=\{\overline{\boldsymbol Y}_1, \ldots, \overline{\boldsymbol Y}_T\}, with \overline{\boldsymbol Y}_k=(\overline{Y}_{k,0}, \overline{Y}_{k,1},\ldots, \overline{Y}_{k,n})^\top such that \overline{Y}_{k,i}=1 if \overline{X}_k=s_i (k=1,\ldots,T, , i=0,\ldots,n). The binarized series is constructed in the form of a matrix whose rows represent time observations and whose columns represent the states in the original series.

Value

The binarized time series.
