Using dtw for computing the TS from “similar” or “different” signals, respectively. (a) dtw matrix with optimized path (white) for similar (left) and varying (right) signals. (b) Comparison of mean signal (full line) and TS (dashed line) from the similar signals (left) and varying signals (right). For similar signals there is practically no difference between the mean signal and the TS. When comparing varying signals the TS yield different characteristics (red circles). Circle 1: no sharp cutoff, appears to be more harmonically, circle 2: peak is underestimated in mean signal, and circle 3: peak values between mean signal and TS are practically the same.
