Minkowski distance
Description
Calculate Minkowski distance between one point and a set of other points.
Usage
dist1(x, X, p = 2, inf = FALSE)
Arguments
x |
A numeric vector describing point coordinates. |
X |
A numeric matrix describing coordinates for several points. |
p |
The power in Minkowski distance, defaults to 2 for Euclidean distance. |
inf |
Logical; switch for calculating maximum norm distance (sometimes
known as Chebychev distance) which is the limit of Minkowski distance as
|
Value
A numeric vector. These are distance^p, for speed of computation.
