distanceSP {sarp.snowprofile.alignment}

Wrapper for dtwSP and simSP

Description

Calculate the distance between two snowprofile objects by

Usage

distanceSP(query, ref, ...)

Arguments

query

The query snowprofile object (will be warped onto ref)

ref

The reference snowprofile object (will not be warped)

...

passed on to dtwSP

Details

1. Matching their layers and aligning them (i.e., warp one profile onto the other one)

2. Assessing the similarity of the aligned profiles based on avalanche hazard relevant characteristics

3. Convert the similarity score into a distance value between ⁠[0, 1]⁠

This procedure is useful for clustering and aggregating tasks, given a set of multiple profiles.
