List of included code files
Here we provide a full list of Matlab code files, organized loosely into broad categories, and with brief descriptions.
The full default set of over 7700 features in hctsa is produced by running all of the code files below, many of which produce a large number of outputs (e.g., some functions fit a time-series model and then output statistics including the parameters of the best-fitting model, measures of the model's goodness of fit, the optimal model order, and autocorrelation statistics on the residuals). In our default feature set, each function is also run with different sets of input parameters, with each parameter set yielding characteristic outputs. For example, different inputs to CO_AutoCorr determine the method in which autocorrelation is computed, as well as the time lag at which autocorrelation is calculated, e.g., lag 1, lag 2, lag 3, etc.; WL_dwtcoeff has inputs that set the mother wavelet to use, and level of wavelet decomposition; FC_LocalSimple has inputs that determine the time-series forecasting method to use and the size of the training window. The set of code files below and their input parameters that define the default hctsa feature set are in the INP_mops.txt file of the hctsa repository.
