In dad: Three-Way / Multigroup Data Analysis Through Densities

Matrix of distances between discrete probability densities given samples

Description

Computes the matrix of the symmetric Chi-squared distances between several multivariate or univariate discrete probability distributions, estimated from samples.

Usage

matddchisqsym(x)

Arguments

x	object of class "folder" containing the data. Its elements are data frames (one data frame per distribution) whose columns are factors.

Value

Positive symmetric matrix whose order is equal to the number of data frames (or distributions), consisting of the pairwise symmetric chi-squared distances between the distributions.

Examples

# Example 1
x1 <- data.frame(x = factor(c("A", "A", "B", "B")))
x2 <- data.frame(x = factor(c("A", "A", "A", "B", "B")))
x3 <- data.frame(x = factor(c("A", "A", "B", "B", "B", "B")))
xf <- folder(x1, x2, x3)
matddchisqsym(xf)

# Example 2
x1 <- data.frame(x = factor(c("A", "A", "A", "B", "B", "B")),
                 y = factor(c("a", "a", "a", "b", "b", "b")))                 
x2 <- data.frame(x = factor(c("A", "A", "A", "B", "B")),
                 y = factor(c("a", "a", "b", "a", "b")))
x3 <- data.frame(x = factor(c("A", "A", "B", "B", "B", "B")),
                 y = factor(c("a", "b", "a", "b", "a", "b")))
xf <- folder(x1, x2, x3)
matddchisqsym(xf)
