kernels.and.distances {LPCM}

Auxiliary kernel and distance functions.

Description

Internal LPCM functions which are normally not to be called by the user.

Usage

kern(y, x = 0, h = 1)
kernd(X, x, h)
kdex(X, x, h)
distancevector(X, y, d = "euclid", na.rm = TRUE)
vecdist(X,Y)
mindist(X,y)
enorm(x)

Arguments

x

a number or vector.

y

a vector.

h

a bandwidth.

X

a matrix.

Y

a matrix.

d

type of distance measure (only ‘euclid’).

na.rm

...

Details

kern specifies the base kernel (by default Gaussian) used in lpc ; kernd is the corresponding multivariate product kernel. kdex is a pointwise multivariate kernel density estimator.

distancevector makes use of function vdisseuclid from R package hopach (but that package does not need to be loaded). enorm is the Euclidean norm.
