Hamming Distance

Description

Simple function to return the Hamming distance between two objects. Acts elementwise.

Usage

hammingDist(x, y)

Arguments

x

Binary vector or matrix

y

Binary vector or matrix of same dimensions as x.

Value

Numeric, elementwise Hamming distance between x and y.

Note

For speed, no error handling if x and y do not have the same dimensions. Also, does not test to make sure x,y are binary, take care!

Examples

x <- matrix(c(1,0,
              0,0), nrow = 2, byrow = TRUE)
y <- diag(1,2)
hammingDist(x, y)
