Calculating distance correlation of two vectors or columns of a matrix

Description

Calculating distance correlation of two vectors or columns of a matrix for Generalized Network-based Dimensionality Reduction and Analysis (GNDA).

The calculation is very slow for large matrices!

Usage

dCor(x,y=NULL)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector, a numeric matrix (in this case y=NULL), or a numeric data frame (in this case y=NULL)

y

a numeric vector (optional)

Details

If x is a numeric vector, y must be specified. If x is a numeric matrix or numeric data frame, y must be ignored from the parameters.

Value

Either a distance correlation value of vectors x and y, or a distance correlation matrix of x.
