In distances: Tools for Distance Metrics
distances
The distances package provides tools for constructing, manipulating and using distance metrics in R. It calculates distances only as needed (unlike the standard dist function which derives the complete distance matrix when called). This saves memory and can increase speed. The package also includes functions for fast nearest and farthest neighbor searching.
How to install
distances is on CRAN and can be installed by running:
install.packages("distances")
