here is my three time series:
t1 t2 t3
3 8 17
1 8 18
0 8 17

as i have seen , DTW can give us output , which can tell us a similarity between time- series
but i don't know how can we do that?
how can we say that with the output of DTW?
which distance is good ?? high or low?
help me to solve this problem
Thanks

With use of DTW:
import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO
from dtaidistance import dtw
data = StringIO("""
t1 t2 t3
3 8 17
1 8 18
. . .
. . .
0 8 17
0 8 17
""")
# load data into data frame
df = pd.read_csv(data, sep=' ', engine='python', dtype=float)
# transpose data
transposed_matrix = df.values.transpose()
# calculate series cost
results = dtw.distance_matrix_fast(transposed_matrix, compact=True)
Output:
Cost results for comparing 3 time series. Lower cost is better.
