mathellinger: Matrix of Hellinger distances between Gaussian densities

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

Matrix of Hellinger distances between Gaussian densities

Description

Computes the matrix of the Hellinger distances between several multivariate (p > 1) or univariate (p = 1) Gaussian densities given samples and using hellinger.

Usage

mathellinger(x)

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.

Value

Positive symmetric matrix whose order is equal to the number of densities, consisting of the pairwise Hellinger distances between the probability densities.

Examples

    data(roses)
    
    # Multivariate:
    X <- as.folder(roses[,c("Sha","Den","Sym","rose")], groups = "rose")
    summary(X)
    mathellinger(X)
    
    # Univariate :
    X1 <- as.folder(roses[,c("Sha","rose")], groups = "rose")
    summary(X1)
    mathellinger(X1)
