computeDistanceFromPointToSetOfPoints {ecr}

Computes distance between a single point and set of points.

Description

Helper to compute distance between a single point and a point set.

Usage

computeDistanceFromPointToSetOfPoints(
  a,
  B,
  dist.fun = computeEuclideanDistance
)

Arguments

a

[numeric(1)]
Point given as a numeric vector.

B

[matrix]
Point set (each column corresponds to a point).

dist.fun

[matrix]
Distance function to compute distance between points x and y. Expects a single numeric vector d with the coordinate-wise differences di = (xi - yi). Default is computeEuclideanDist.

Value

[numeric(1)]
