Compare vectors
Description
Compare vectors properly taking into account uniform vectors (with same values on all dimensions) and non-specified dimensions.
Usage
VMATCH(x, y, incomparable = 0, noise=TRUE)
Arguments
x |
target vector |
y |
vector (numeric or data frame/list) or set of vectors whose similarity to the target is to be determined |
incomparable |
Value to be returned for incomparable vectors, in which all dimension pairs contain underspecified values |
noise |
logical for addition of noise to outcome (default is TRUE) |
Details
Differences between vectors are determined per dimension, weighted (cf. world$weigh), and then averaged. If vectors are not specified for certain target dimensions, this does not count as a mismatch.
Value
numeric
