Descriptive Statistics

Peaks, RMS level, peak-to-peak amplitude, crest factor, dynamic time warping, CUSUM control chart, edit distance

Use findpeaks to locate the local maxima of a signal and sort the peaks by height, width, or prominence. Determine the crest factor of a signal using the peak2rms function and compute common descriptive statistics like maxima, minima, standard deviations, and RMS levels. Search for signals of interest in larger data sets and align signals in time. Locate points where a signal changes abruptly or drifts beyond a target range. Label signals for analysis or machine and deep learning applications.
