Directional symmetry

This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Please help improve the article with a good introductory style. (October 2009)

Directional symmetry is roughly defined as "things going the same direction," and is to be distinguished from directional asymmetry, meaning "things going different directions."

The following formula tests for directional symmetry:

If $t\,$ is the actual signal and $\hat {t}$ is the predicted one we have:

$\operatorname{DS}(t,\hat t) = \frac{100}{n-1}\sum_{i=2}^{n}d_i$ ,

$d_i = \begin{cases} 1, & \mbox{if }(t_i - t_{i-1})(\hat t_i - \hat t_{i-1})\ge 0 \\ 0, & \mbox{otherwise} \end{cases}$
