skdh.gait.IntraStepCovarianceV

class skdh.gait.IntraStepCovarianceV

The autocovariance of vertical acceleration of 1 step with lag equal to the step duration. In other words, it is how similar the acceleration signal is from one step to the next for only 1 step. It differs from the StepRegularity in that step regularity uses the acceleration from the entire gait bout while intra-step covariance uses the acceleration only from individual steps. Values close to 1 indicate that the following step was very similar to the current step, while values close to 0 indicate that the following step was not very similar.
