\description{
A \code{stepPattern} object lists the transitions allowed while searching
for the minimum-distance path. DTW variants are implemented by passing one
of the objects described in this page to the \code{stepPattern} argument of
the \code{\link{dtw}} call.
}
\details{
A step pattern characterizes the matching model and slope constraint
specific of a DTW variant. They also known as local- or slope-constraints,
transition types, production or recursion rules [GiorginoJSS].

A variety of classification schemes have been proposed for step patterns, including
Sakoe-Chiba [Sakoe1978]; Rabiner-Juang [Rabiner1993]; and Rabiner-Myers
[Myers1980]. The \code{dtw} package implements all of the transition types
found in those papers, with the exception of Itakura's and
Velichko-Zagoruyko's steps, which require subtly different algorithms (this
may be rectified in the future). Itakura recursion is almost, but not quite,
equivalent to \code{typeIIIc}.
For convenience, we shall review pre-defined step patterns grouped by
classification. Note that the same pattern may be listed under different
names. Refer to paper [GiorginoJSS] for full details.
\strong{1. Well-known step patterns}
Common DTW implementations are based on one of the following transition
types.
\code{symmetric2} is the normalizable, symmetric, with no local slope
constraints. Since one diagonal step costs as much as the two equivalent
steps along the sides, it can be normalized dividing by \code{N+M}
(query+reference lengths). It is widely used and the default.
\code{asymmetric} is asymmetric, slope constrained between 0 and 2. Matches
each element of the query time series exactly once, so the warping path
\code{index2~index1} is guaranteed to be single-valued. Normalized by
\code{N} (length of query).
\code{symmetric1} (or White-Neely) is quasi-symmetric, no local constraint,
non-normalizable. It is biased in favor of oblique steps.
\strong{2. The Rabiner-Juang set}
A comprehensive table of step patterns is proposed in Rabiner-Juang's book
[Rabiner1993], tab. 4.5. All of them can be constructed through the
\code{rabinerJuangStepPattern(type,slope.weighting,smoothed)} function.
The classification foresees seven families, labelled with Roman numerals
I-VII; here, they are selected through the integer argument \code{type}.
Each family has four slope weighting sub-types, named in sec. 4.7.2.5 as
"Type (a)" to "Type (d)"; they are selected passing a character argument
\code{slope.weighting}, as in the table below. Furthermore, each subtype can
be either plain or smoothed (figure 4.44); smoothing is enabled setting the
logical argument \code{smoothed}. (Not all combinations of arguments make
sense.)
\tabular{cccc}{
Subtype \tab Rule \tab Norm \tab Unbiased \cr
% --------------------------------
a \tab min step \tab -- \tab NO \cr
b \tab max step \tab -- \tab NO \cr
c \tab Di step \tab N \tab YES \cr
d \tab Di+Dj step \tab N+M \tab YES \cr
}
\strong{3. The Sakoe-Chiba set}
Sakoe-Chiba [Sakoe1978] discuss a family of slope-constrained patterns; they
are implemented as shown in page 47, table I. Here, they are called
\code{symmetricP<x>} and \code{asymmetricP<x>}, where \code{<x>} corresponds
to Sakoe's integer slope parameter \emph{P}. Values available are
accordingly: \code{0} (no constraint), \code{1}, \code{05} (one half) and
\code{2}. See [Sakoe1978] for details.
\strong{4. The Rabiner-Myers set}
The \code{type<XX><y>} step patterns follow the older Rabiner-Myers'
classification proposed in [Myers1980] and [MRR1980]. Note that this is a
subset of the Rabiner-Juang set [Rabiner1993], and the latter should be
preferred in order to avoid confusion. \code{<XX>} is a Roman numeral
specifying the shape of the transitions; \code{<y>} is a letter in the range
\code{a-d} specifying the weighting used per step, as above; \code{typeIIx}
patterns also have a version ending in \code{s}, meaning the smoothing is
used (which does not permit skipping points). The \code{typeId, typeIId} and
\code{typeIIds} are unbiased and symmetric.
\strong{5. Others}
The \code{rigid} pattern enforces a fixed unitary slope. It only makes sense
in combination with \code{open.begin=T}, \code{open.end=T} to find gapless
subsequences. It may be seen as the \eqn{P \to \infty}{P->inf} limiting case in Sakoe's classification.
\code{mori2006} is Mori's asymmetric step-constrained pattern [Mori2006]. It
is normalized by the matched reference length.
\code{\link{mvmStepPattern}()} implements Latecki's Minimum Variance
Matching algorithm, and it is described in its own page.
\strong{Methods}
\code{print.stepPattern} prints an user-readable description of the
recurrence equation defined by the given pattern.
\code{plot.stepPattern} graphically displays the step patterns productions
which can lead to element (0,0). Weights are shown along the step leading to
the corresponding element.
\code{t.stepPattern} transposes the productions and normalization hint so
that roles of query and reference become reversed.
}
\note{
Constructing \code{stepPattern} objects is tricky and thus
undocumented. For a commented example please see source code for
\code{symmetricP1}.
