Plot of measure vs 2 parameters

This operation plots in a figure a measure as a function of two varying parameters (at least two values of the each specified parameter should exist) for one selected time series. Then the surface of the selected measure and time series vs the two measure specific parameters is displayed in a three dimensional (3D) plot. This 3D plot visualizes the dependence of the measure on its two parameters, so it can be applied only to measures bearing at least two varying parameters.

A single time series can be selected from the time series list having the title Select one time series.

Before selecting from the measure list the two parameters must be chosen from the First Parameter to select and Second Parameter to select among the listed parameters (t, m, h, f, k, q, b, s, r, a, w, see "Measure Parameter Name Notation" in the main menu). Upon the selection of the two parameters, the list of measure names is restricted to the measure names that include both parameters (measures that are dependent on the two specified parameters). If for example, the "delay (t)" is selected as first parameter and the "embedding dimension" as the second parameter, the label on the top of the measure list reads Select measures of parameter type "delay (t)" and "embedding dimension (m)", and the list contains all measure names that contain these two parameters (the measure names contain the character 't' followed by a number and the character 'm' followed by a number). If no such a measure name exists, the list is empty and this operation cannot run for this parameter.

A subset of measure names can be selected from the list with standard use of the mouse: a click on a name and Shift^click on a another name further down in the list selects all names between the former and the latter; a click on a name and subsequent Ctrl^clicks on other names select these names including the first name; Ctrl^a selects the whole list.

Tips: For the selection of a subset of measure names from the list, click on the measure of this subset appearing first in the list and then Shift^click at the last measure in the list. In this way, all measures from the first selected to the last measure in the list will be marked and from those only the ones that have the same measure name as the first and differ only to the value of the two specified parameters will be processed.  

 

First Parameter to select

The user can choose one of the following parameters (for details see "Measure Parameter Name Notation" in the main menu)

delay (t)
embedding dimension (m)
prediction time (h)
fraction for test set (f)
number of neighbors (k)
truncation parameter (q)
number of bins (b)
upper/low scaling ratio (s)
radius (r)
file order (a)
offset for window length (w)

If there are measures in the list of measure names that are defined in terms of the selected parameter, they are displayed in the list of measures.

 

Second Parameter to select

The user can choose one of the following parameters (for details see "Measure Parameter Name Notation" in the main menu)

delay (t)
embedding dimension (m)
prediction time (h)
fraction for test set (f)
number of neighbors (k)
truncation parameter (q)
number of bins (b)
upper/low scaling ratio (s)
radius (r)
file order (a)
offset for window length (w)

The selected parameter should not be the same as the one selected in First Parameter to Select. If there are measures in the list of measure names that are defined in terms of the two selected parameters, they are displayed in the list of measures.

 

View selected plot

Provided that there are measures in the list that differ in at least two values at each of the two parameters, i.e. at least four measure names for all combinations of the two values for the two parameters, by pressing this button a separate figure window will be displayed (as the one shown below). The plot is the surface of the measure vs the two parameters for the selected time series. The time series name is displayed in the title, the measure name (deleting the string regarding the two parameters) is displayed at the label of the z-axis, and the two parameter names are displayed at  the label of the x-axis and y-axis.

Exit

By pressing this button the window of "Plot of measure vs 2 parameters" will disappear and the user will be moved to the "View Measures" window. Note that any created figures will remain until the user exits from the "View Measures" window.
