overlap {bayestestR} R Documentation

## Overlap Coefficient

### Description

A method to calculate the overlap coefficient between two empirical distributions (that can be used as a measure of similarity between two samples).

### Usage

overlap(
x,
y,
method_density = "kernel",
method_auc = "trapezoid",
precision = 2^10,
extend = TRUE,
extend_scale = 0.1,
...
)


### Arguments

 x Vector of x values. y Vector of x values. method_density Density estimation method. See estimate_density(). method_auc Area Under the Curve (AUC) estimation method. See area_under_curve(). precision Number of points of density data. See the n parameter in density. extend Extend the range of the x axis by a factor of extend_scale. extend_scale Ratio of range by which to extend the x axis. A value of 0.1 means that the x axis will be extended by 1/10 of the range of the data. ... Currently not used.

### Examples

library(bayestestR)

x <- distribution_normal(1000, 2, 0.5)
y <- distribution_normal(1000, 0, 1)

overlap(x, y)
plot(overlap(x, y))
