Time Warp Edit Distance

Information Retrieval 2008-06-23 v5

Abstract

This technical report details a family of time warp distances on the set of discrete time series. This family is constructed as an editing distance whose elementary operations apply on linear segments. A specific parameter allows controlling the stiffness of the elastic matching. It is well suited for the processing of event data for which each data sample is associated with a timestamp, not necessarily obtained according to a constant sampling rate. Some properties verified by these distances are proposed and proved in this report.
