amari: Compute the 'Amari' distance between two matrices

In ProDenICA: Product Density Estimation for ICA using Tilted Gaussian Density Estimates

Compute the 'Amari' distance between two matrices

Description

The Amari distance is a measure between two nonsingular matrices. Useful for checking for convergence in ICA algorithms, and for comparing solutions.

Usage

amari(V, W, orth = FALSE)

Arguments

V	first matrix
W	second matrix
orth	are the matrices orthogonal; default is orth=FALSE

Details

Formula is given in second reference below, page 570.

Value

a numeric distance metween 0 and 1
