The work has been developed fromthe statistical point of view, so a stochastic data-driven model is finally obtained after the algorithm isapplied to a set of experimentally measured steps. The model is composed of two mean vectors and theircorresponding covariance matrices to represent the steps, as well as some more means and standard deviationsto account for the step scaling and double support phase, under the assumption that the random variablesfollow normal distributions. Velocity and step length are also provided, so the model and the latter data enablethe realistic generation of virtual gaits. Some application examples at different walking paces are shown, inwhich comparisons between the original steps and a set of virtual ones are performed to show the similaritiesbetween both. For reproducibility purposes, the data and the developed algorithm have been made available PB Elsevier SN 1877-7503 YR 2025 FD 2025 LK https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/76284 UL https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/76284 LA eng NO Journal of Computational Science, 2025, vol. 88, p. 102602 NO Producción Científica DS UVaDOC RD 23-jul-2025
