checksAn R package to calculate distances. This provide a common framework to calculate distances.
There are three main functions: - rdist
computes the pairwise distances between observations in one matrix and returns a dist
object, - pdist
computes the pairwise distances between observations in one matrix and returns a matrix
, and - cdist
computes the distances between observations in two matrices and returns a matrix
.
All functions have an argument metric
that can be used to specify the distance function. Available metrics are "euclidean"
, "minkowski"
, "manhattan"
, "maximum"
, "canberra"
, "angular"
, "correlation"
, "absolute_correlation"
, "hamming"
, and "jaccard"
. All functions will return NA or NaN when one of the compared vectors contains NAs.
