This repository contains Python/R scripts and processed anonymized data for the article "Validating dynamic time warping as a measure of gesture form similarity".
The Python scripts (under "kinematics") were used to preprocess motion tracking time series data and compute DTW distances. The R scripts were used for statistical analyses.
For an accessible tutorial on DTW, please see this DTW tutorial created based on the article.
If users wish to run the analyses (e.g., DTW distance computation), please download the MediaPipe motion tracking data from the OSF repository and place them in the kinematics/[study1 or study2]/data/mediapipe directory before running the scripts.
