This project investigates how spectral density–based distances can improve time series clustering compared with traditional time-domain approaches. The research focuses on understanding the mathematics of spectral distances, analysing how they capture structural differences such as seasonality and noise, and evaluating their performance against Euclidean and correlation distances. Small experiments in R using TSclust and dtw will be conducted to compare clustering results. A key research question is whether weighting frequency bands can enhance the interpretability and validity of clustering outcomes.
