matjeffreys {dad}

Matrix of the Jeffreys measures (symmetrised Kullback-Leibler divergences) between Gaussian densities

Description

Computes the matrix of Jeffreys measures between several multivariate (p > 1) or univariate (p = 1) Gaussian densities, given samples.

Usage

matjeffreys(x)

Arguments

x

object of class "folder" containing the data. Its elements have only numeric variables (observations of the probability densities). If there are non numeric variables, there is an error.

Value

Positive symmetric matrix whose order is equal to the number of densities, consisting of pairwise Jeffreys measures between the Gaussian densities.

Examples

    data(roses)
    
    # Multivariate:
    X <- as.folder(roses[,c("Sha","Den","Sym","rose")], groups = "rose")
    summary(X)
    matjeffreys(X)
    
    # Univariate :
    X1 <- as.folder(roses[,c("Sha","rose")], groups = "rose")
    summary(X1)
    matjeffreys(X1)
