Cosine Distance for Permutations
Description
The Cosine distance for permutations is derived from the Cosine similarity measure which has been applied in fields like text mining. It is based on the scalar product of two vectors (here: permutations).
Usage
distancePermutationCos(x, y)
Arguments
x |
first permutation (integer vector) |
y |
second permutation (integer vector) |
Value
numeric distance value
d(x,y)
, scaled to values between 0 and 1 (based on the maximum possible distance between two permutations)

Examples
x <- 1:5
y <- c(5,1,2,3,4)
distancePermutationCos(x,y)
p <- replicate(10,sample(1:5),simplify=FALSE)
