Vector Functionals

Description

Functions to compute various vector norms and distances.

Usage

l0_pseudo_norm(x)

hamming_distance(x, y)

l1_norm(x)

l1_distance(x, y)

l2_norm(x)

l2_distance(x, y)

sup_norm(x)

sup_distance(x, y)

lp_norm(x, p)

lp_distance(x, y, p)

total_variation(x)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector.
y	A numeric vector of the same length as x (for distance functions).
p	A positive integer indicating the order of the norm or distance (for Lp functions).

Value

A single numeric value with the computed norm or distance.
