Distance Matrix Computation
Usage
dist(x, method = "euclidian", diag = FALSE)
print.dist(dist.obj)
Arguments
x
|
a matrix or (data frame). Distances between the rows of
x will be computed.
|
method
|
the distance measure to be used. This must be one of
"euclidian" , "maximum" , "manhattan" ,
"canberra" or "binary" .
Any unambiguous substring can be given.
|
diag
|
a logical value indicating whether the diagonal of the
distance matrix should be included in the result.
|
Description
This function computes and returns the distance matrix computed by
using the specified distance measure to compute the distances between
the rows of x
.
Value
The lower triangle of the distance matrix (with or without its
diagonal as specified by diag
) and stored by columns in a
single vector. The vector has the attributes "size"
,
"diag"
, "labels"
and class
equal to "dist".
