This example illustrates LCSS computation between time series and plots the alignment path [1]. and its relationship to the DTW.
Since LCSS focuses on the similar parts between two time-series, a potential use case is to identify the similarity between time-series whose lengths differ greatly or have noise. As one example, M. Vlachos et al. [1] used this method to cluster time series regarding human writing in the presence of noise.
The example demonstrates the use of the functions lcss_path and dtw_path to calculate the alignment path between them and compare the two approaches when dealing with unequal-length sequence data and noise.
