  dataset,
  formula,
  plot = TRUE,
  plot_title = "Canberra Distance Between Groups"
)

Arguments

dataset

A dataframe.

A factor which you want to calculate the Canberra distances matrix.

plot

Logical, if TRUE, a plot of Canberra distances matrix is displayed.

plot_title

The title to be used for the plot if plot is TRUE.
