SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the appropriate terminology for averaged values derived from segmented distances in a force signal collected from a moving vehicle. The user segments the data into four segments (s1, s2, s3, and s4), each 100 meters wide, and calculates the average for each segment, resulting in values sm1, sm2, sm3, and sm4. The proposed term "distance-segmented mean values" is deemed suitable for labeling these averages in a publication. The consensus emphasizes the importance of brevity in axis labels while providing detailed explanations in accompanying figures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of signal processing concepts
  • Familiarity with data segmentation techniques
  • Knowledge of statistical averaging methods
  • Experience with plotting and data visualization
NEXT STEPS
  • Research best practices for labeling axes in scientific publications
  • Explore advanced signal processing techniques for time-sampled data
  • Learn about data visualization tools like Matplotlib for effective plotting
  • Investigate statistical methods for analyzing segmented data
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, data analysts, and engineers working with time-sampled signals, particularly those involved in vehicle dynamics and data visualization in scientific publications.

Hi all,

I need a help for a term that it wil be used in a publication.

I have a force signal collect on a moving vehicle. I have framed it into 4 segments (i.e. s1, s2, s3 and s4) where the width of the segments is 100 m. The signal is time sampled, the vehicle speed is variable and therefore the temporal width of each segment may vary among the different segments.

For each segment I computed the average value and therefore I obtain 4 different values (i.e. sm1, sm2, sm3 and sm4). Is it correct to use the term "distance-segmented mean values" as a general term for sm1, sm2, sm3 and sm4? I need a kind of short form for the y-label of a plot.

Thanks

It's OK with me.
 
But I think the shorter the label for the x/y axis, the better it looks. More details for explaining what it is can be summarized in the Figure #: that usually goes with the plotted image.
 
Thank you so much!
