“…DTW is a standard method for comparing signals that can stretch and compress in time (e.g., in speech and motion recognition - Kuzmanic & Zanchi, 2007;Sakoe & Chiba, 1978;space telemetry -Senin, 2008;signal processing -Müller, Mattes, & Kurth, 2006; protein sequence alignment and chemical engineering - Aach & Church, 2001;Vial et al, 2009) because, unlike linear methods of comparison, it is insensitive to small temporal differences between otherwise similar signals (Berndt & Clifford, 1994). DTW shows better performance at clustering similar signals when they are offset in time and equivalent performance when signals are temporally aligned (Berndt & Clifford, 1994;Keogh & Ratanamahatana, 2004).…”
