Optimal Transport in Various Forms
Description
Solve optimal transport problems. Compute Wasserstein distances (a.k.a. Kantorovitch, Fortet–Mourier, Mallows, Earth Mover's, or minimal L_p distances), return the corresponding transport plans, and display them graphically. Objects that can be compared include grey-scale images, (weighted) point patterns, and mass vectors.

The main end-user function is transport. It computes optimal transport plans between images (class pgrid), point patterns (class pp), weighted point patterns (class wpp) and mass vectors, based on various algorithms. These transport plans can be ploted. The function wasserstein allows for the numerical computation of p-th order Wasserstein distances.
Most functions in this package are designed for data in two and higher dimensions. A quick tool for computing the p-th order Wasserstein distance between univariate samples is wasserstein1d.
