calcDistance: Calculate the Distance Between Vectors

In bingat: Binary Graph Analysis Tools

Description

This function calculates the distance between two vectors.

Usage

calcDistance(x, y, type = "", method = "hamming")

Arguments

x, y	Vectors of the same length that contain 1's and 0's.
type	The type of graph being used (adjmatrix or adjmatrixlt). See 'Details'
method	The distance metric to use, currently only "hamming" is supported.

Details

If the type = "adjMatrix" is used, the value will be divided by 2 to account for duplicate comparisons. Otherwise the type does not affect the output.

Value

A single number indicating the distance between the two input vectors.
