AmpPhaseDecomp {fda}R Documentation

Decomposition for Amplitude and Phase Variation

Description

Registration is the process of aligning peaks, valleys and other features in a sample of curves. Once the registration has taken place, this function computes two mean squared error measures, one for amplitude variation, and the other for phase variation. It also computes a squared multiple correlation index of the amount of variation in the unregistered functions is due to phase.

Usage

AmpPhaseDecomp(xfd, yfd, wfd)

Arguments

xfd a functional data object containing the unregistered curves.
yfd a functional data object containing the registered curves.
wfd a functional data object defining the functions $w(t)$ that define the strictly monotone warping functions $h(t)$. This is typically returned by the functions landmarkreg and register.fd.

Details

The decomposition can yield negative values for MS.phas if the registration does not improve the alignment of the curves, or if used to compare two registration processes based on different principles, such as is the case for functions landmarkreg and register.fd.

Value

a named list with the following components:

MS.amp the mean squared error for amplitude variation.
MS.phas the mean squared error for phase variation.
RSQR the squared correlation measure of the proportion of the total variation that is due to phase variation.
C a constant required for the decomposition. Its value is one if the derivatives the warping functions are independent of the squared registered functions.
