tslearn.barycenters

The tslearn.barycenters module gathers algorithms for time series barycenter computation.

A barycenter (or Fréchet mean) is a time series \(b\) which minimizes the sum of squared distances to the time series of a given data set \(x\):

\[\min \sum_i d( b, x_i )^2\]

Only the methods dtw_barycenter_averaging() and softdtw_barycenter() can operate on variable-length time-series (see here).

See the barycenter examples for an overview.
