distance: Compute distances for two sets of inputs

In GPBayes: Tools for Gaussian Process Modeling in Uncertainty Quantification

Compute distances for two sets of inputs

Description

This function computes distances for two sets of inputs and returns a R object.

Usage

distance(input1, input2, type = "isotropic", dtype = "Euclidean")

Arguments

input1	a matrix of inputs
input2	a matrix of inputs
type	a string indicating the form of distances with three froms supported currently: isotropic, tensor, ARD.
dtype	a string indicating distance type: Euclidean, GCD, where the latter indicates great circle distance.

Value

a R object holding distances for two sets of inputs. If type is isotropic, a matrix of distances is returned; if type is tensor or ARD, a list of distance matrices along each input dimension is returned.

a numeric vector or matrix of distances
