Distance Between Linear Spaces

Description

Evaluate the distance between two linear subspaces using the measure proposed by Li, Zha and Chiaromonte (2005).

Usage

subspaceDistance(B0, B1)

Arguments

B0

Matrix whose columns are a basis for the first subspace.

B1

Matrix whose columns are a basis for the second subspace.

Details

This algorithm calculates the maximum absolute value of the eigenvalues of P1-P0 where P0,P1 are the projection matrices onto the subspaces generated by B0,B1. This measure of distance was proposed by Li, Zha and Chiaromonte (2005). See also Xia (2007).

Value

A single numeric value.
