SimilarityMeasures (version 1.4)

SimilarityMeasures-package: Implements Several Similarity Measures and Useful Functions

Description

This package contains functions to run and assist four different similarity measures. The similarity measures included are: longest common subsequence (LCSS), Frechet distance, edit distance and dynamic time warping (DTW). Each of these similarity measures can be calculated from two n-dimensional trajectories, both in matrix form.
