calc_mean_dist {nullabor}

Calculating the mean distances of each plot in the lineup.

Description

Distance metric is used to calculate the mean distance between the true plot and all the null plots in a lineup. The mean distances of each null plot to all the other null plots are calculated. The mean distances are returned for all the plots in the lineup.

Usage

calc_mean_dist(lineup.dat, var, met, pos, dist.arg = NULL, m = 20)

Arguments

lineup.dat

lineup data of the lineup

var

a vector of names of the variables to be used to calculate the mean distances

met

distance metric needed to calculate the distance as a character

pos

position of the true plot in the lineup

dist.arg

a list or vector of inputs for the distance metric met; NULL by default

m

number of plots in the lineup, by default m = 20

Value

the mean distances of each plot in the lineup

Examples

if(require('dplyr')){
calc_mean_dist(lineup(null_permute('mpg'), mtcars, pos = 1), var = c('mpg', 'wt'),
met = 'reg_dist', pos = 1, m = 10)}
