# Time Series Distances
Library for time series distances (e.g. Dynamic Time Warping) used in the
[DTAI Research Group](https://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be). The library offers a pure
Python implementation and a fast implementation in C. The C implementation
has only Cython as a dependency. It is compatible with Numpy and Pandas and
implemented such that unnecessary data copy operations are avoided.
Documentation: http://dtaidistance.readthedocs.io
Example:
from dtaidistance import dtw
import numpy as np
s1 = np.array([0.0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0])
s2 = np.array([0.0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
d = dtw.distance_fast(s1, s2)
Citing this work:
> Wannes Meert, Kilian Hendrickx, Toon Van Craenendonck, Pieter Robberechts, Hendrik Blockeel & Jesse Davis.
> DTAIDistance (Version v2). Zenodo.
> http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5901139
**New in v2**:
- Numpy is now an optional dependency, also to compile the C library
(only Cython is required).
- Small optimizations throughout the C code to improve speed.
- The consistent use of `ssize_t` instead of `int` allows for larger data structures on 64 bit
machines and be more compatible with Numpy.
- The parallelization is now implemented directly in C (included if OpenMP is installed).
- The `max_dist` argument turned out to be similar to Silva and Batista's work
on PrunedDTW [7]. The toolbox now implements a version that is equal to PrunedDTW
since it prunes more partial distances. Additionally, a `use_pruning` argument
is added to automatically set `max_dist` to the Euclidean distance, as suggested
by Silva and Batista, to speed up the computation (a new method `ub_euclidean` is available).
- Support in the C library for multi-dimensional sequences in the `dtaidistance.dtw_ndim`
package.
- DTW Barycenter Averaging for clustering (v2.2).
- Subsequence search and local concurrences (v2.3).
- Support for N-dimensional time series (v2.3.7).
## Installation
$ pip install dtaidistance
or
$ conda install -c conda-forge dtaidistance
The pip installation requires Numpy as a dependency to compile Numpy-compatible
C code (using Cython). However, this dependency is optional and can be removed.
The source code is available at
[github.com/wannesm/dtaidistance](https://github.com/wannesm/dtaidistance).
If you encounter any problems during compilation (e.g. the C-based implementation or OpenMP
is not available), see the
[documentation](https://dtaidistance.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/installation.html)
for more options.
## Usage
### Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) Distance Measure
from dtaidistance import dtw
from dtaidistance import dtw_visualisation as dtwvis
import numpy as np
s1 = np.array([0., 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0])
s2 = np.array([0., 1, 2, 3, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0])
path = dtw.warping_path(s1, s2)
dtwvis.plot_warping(s1, s2, path, filename="warp.png")
#### DTW Distance Measure Between Two Series
Only the distance measure based on two sequences of numbers:
from dtaidistance import dtw
s1 = [0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0]
s2 = [0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
distance = dtw.distance(s1, s2)
print(distance)
The fastest version (30-300 times) uses c directly but requires an array as input (with the double type),
and (optionally) also prunes computations by setting `max_dist` to the Euclidean upper bound:
from dtaidistance import dtw
import array
s1 = array.array('d',[0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0])
s2 = array.array('d',[0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
d = dtw.distance_fast(s1, s2, use_pruning=True)
Or you can use a numpy array (with dtype double or float):
from dtaidistance import dtw
import numpy as np
s1 = np.array([0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0], dtype=np.double)
s2 = np.array([0.0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
d = dtw.distance_fast(s1, s2, use_pruning=True)
Check the `__doc__` for information about the available arguments:
print(dtw.distance.__doc__)
A number of options are foreseen to early stop some paths the dynamic programming algorithm is exploring or tune
the distance measure computation:
- `window`: Only allow for shifts up to this amount away from the two diagonals.
- `max_dist`: Stop if the returned distance measure will be larger than this value.
- `max_step`: Do not allow steps larger than this value.
- `max_length_diff`: Return infinity if difference in length of two series is larger.
- `penalty`: Penalty to add if compression or expansion is applied (on top of the distance).
- `psi`: Psi relaxation to ignore begin and/or end of sequences (for cylical sequences) [2].
- `use_pruning`: Prune computations based on the Euclidean upper bound.
#### DTW Distance Measure all warping paths
If, next to the distance, you also want the full matrix to see all possible warping paths:
from dtaidistance import dtw
s1 = [0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0]
s2 = [0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
distance, paths = dtw.warping_paths(s1, s2)
print(distance)
print(paths)
The matrix with all warping paths can be visualised as follows:
from dtaidistance import dtw
from dtaidistance import dtw_visualisation as dtwvis
import random
import numpy as np
x = np.arange(0, 20, .5)
s1 = np.sin(x)
s2 = np.sin(x - 1)
random.seed(1)
for idx in range(len(s2)):
if random.random() < 0.05:
s2[idx] += (random.random() - 0.5) / 2
d, paths = dtw.warping_paths(s1, s2, window=25, psi=2)
best_path = dtw.best_path(paths)
dtwvis.plot_warpingpaths(s1, s2, paths, best_path)
Notice the `psi` parameter that relaxes the matching at the beginning and end.
In this example this results in a perfect match even though the sine waves are slightly shifted.
#### DTW Distance Measures Between Set of Series
To compute the DTW distance measures between all sequences in a list of sequences, use the method `dtw.distance_matrix`.
You can set variables to use more or less c code (`use_c` and `use_nogil`) and parallel or serial execution
(`parallel`).
The `distance_matrix` method expects a list of lists/arrays:
from dtaidistance import dtw
import numpy as np
series = [
np.array([0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0], dtype=np.double),
np.array([0.0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]),
np.array([0.0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0])]
ds = dtw.distance_matrix_fast(series)
or a matrix (in case all series have the same length):
from dtaidistance import dtw
import numpy as np
series = np.matrix([
[0.0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[0.0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0.0, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0]])
ds = dtw.distance_matrix_fast(series)
#### DTW Distance Measures Between Set of Series, limited to block
You can instruct the computation to only fill part of the distance measures matrix.
For example to distribute the computations over multiple nodes, or to only
compare source series to target series.
from dtaidistance import dtw
import numpy as np
series = np.matrix([
[0., 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[0., 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[1., 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1],
[0., 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[0., 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[1., 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1]])
ds = dtw.distance_matrix_fast(series, block=((1, 4), (3, 5)))
The output in this case will be:
# 0 1 2 3 4 5
[[ inf inf inf inf inf inf] # 0
[ inf inf inf 1.4142 0.0000 inf] # 1
[ inf inf inf 2.2360 1.7320 inf] # 2
[ inf inf inf inf 1.4142 inf] # 3
[ inf inf inf inf inf inf] # 4
[ inf inf inf inf inf inf]] # 5
## Clustering
A distance matrix can be used for time series clustering. You can use existing methods such as
`scipy.cluster.hierarchy.linkage` or one of two included clustering methods (the latter is a
wrapper for the SciPy linkage method).
from dtaidistance import clustering
# Custom Hierarchical clustering
model1 = clustering.Hierarchical(dtw.distance_matrix_fast, {})
cluster_idx = model1.fit(series)
# Augment Hierarchical object to keep track of the full tree
model2 = clustering.HierarchicalTree(model1)
cluster_idx = model2.fit(series)
# SciPy linkage clustering
model3 = clustering.LinkageTree(dtw.distance_matrix_fast, {})
cluster_idx = model3.fit(series)
For models that keep track of the full clustering tree (`HierarchicalTree` or `LinkageTree`), the
tree can be visualised:
model.plot("myplot.png")
