Interpoint Distance Matrix
Description
This function computes and returns the distance matrix computed
by using the specified distance measure to
compute the distances between the rows of
the set of points x
and y
using the
dist
function
in the stats
package of the standard R distribution.
If y
is provided (default=NULL
) it yields
a matrix of distances between the rows of x
and
rows of y
. Otherwise, it provides a square matrix
with i,j
-th entry being the distance between row
i
and row j
of x
.
This function is different from the dist
function
in the stats
package.
dist
returns the distance matrix in a lower triangular form,
and ipd.mat
returns in a full matrix.
... are for further arguments, such as method
and p
,
passed to the dist
function.
Usage
ipd.mat(x, y = NULL, ...)
Arguments
x |
A set of points in matrix or data frame form where points correspond to the rows. |
y |
A set of points in matrix or data frame form
where points correspond to the rows (default= |
... |
Additional parameters to be passed on the |
Value
A distance matrix whose i,j
-th entry is the distance
between row i
of x
and row j
of y
if y
is provided,
otherwise i,j
-th entry is the distance between
rows i
and j
of x
.
