TL;DR

Two techniques for alignment of profiles, namely dynamic time Warping (DTW) and correlation optimized warping (COW) were tested and compared and the attention was focused on chromatographic and spectroscopic profiles.

Abstract

The alignment of analytical signals is an important preprocessing step when further analysis (e.g. PCA) requires the same lengths of all of them. Two techniques for alignment of profiles, namely dynamic time warping (DTW) and correlation optimized warping (COW) were tested and compared. The attention was focused on chromatographic and spectroscopic profiles. Simulated and two sets of real data were studied in this study.
