A Structured Study of Multivariate Time-Series Distance Measures

Summary: Evaluation of multivariate time-series distances: 30 measures, 8 categories, 13 normalizations, 30 datasets, 3 tasks. Findings: non-Z normalizations beat Z-score; elastic measures outperform DTW/Euclidean; sliding measures balance accuracy and runtime. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
