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

Matrix of L^2 distances between L^2-normed probability densities

Description

Computes the matrix of the L^2 distances between several multivariate (p > 1) or univariate (p = 1) L^2-normed probability densities, estimated from samples, where a L^2-normed probability density is the original probability density function divided by its L^2-norm.

Usage

matdistl2dnorm(x, method = "gaussiand", varwL = NULL)

Arguments

x	object of class "folder" containing the data. Its elements have only numeric variables (observations of the probability densities). If there are non numeric variables, there is an error.
method	string. It can be: "gaussiand" if the densities are considered to be Gaussian. "kern" if they are estimated using the Gaussian kernel method.
varwL	list of matrices. The smoothing bandwidths for the estimation of each probability density. If they are omitted, the smoothing bandwidths are computed using the normal reference rule matrix bandwidth (see details of the l2d function).

Value

Positive symmetric matrix whose order is equal to the number of densities, consisting of the pairwise distances between the L^2-normed probability densities.

Examples

    data(roses)
    
    # Multivariate:
    X <- as.folder(roses[,c("Sha","Den","Sym","rose")], groups = "rose")
    summary(X)
    mean.X <- mean(X)
    var.X <- var.folder(X)
    
    # Parametrically estimated Gaussian densities:
    matdistl2dnorm(X)
    
    ## Not run: 
    # Estimated densities using the Gaussian kernel method ()normal reference rule bandwidth):
    matdistl2dnorm(X, method = "kern")   

    # Estimated densities using the Gaussian kernel method (bandwidth provided):
    matdistl2dnorm(X, method = "kern", varwL = var.X)
    
## End(Not run)

    # Univariate :
    X1 <- as.folder(roses[,c("Sha","rose")], groups = "rose")
    summary(X1)
    mean.X1 <- mean(X1)
    var.X1 <- var.folder(X1)
    
    # Parametrically estimated Gaussian densities:
    matdistl2dnorm(X1)
    
    # Estimated densities using the Gaussian kernel method (normal reference rule bandwidth):
    matdistl2dnorm(X1, method = "kern")
    
    # Estimated densities using the Gaussian kernel method (normal reference rule bandwidth):
    matdistl2dnorm(X1, method = "kern", varwL = var.X1)
