Distance in seasonal space

Description

Calculates a matrix of distances between points in the seasonal space that characterizes timing and regularity. It is equivalent to Euclidean distance applied to regularity (radius) and timing (angle) separately.

Usage

ch_rfa_distseason(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
ch_rfa_distseason(x, a, w = 1/pi, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
ch_rfa_distseason(x, w = 1/pi, ...)

## S3 method for class 'formula'
ch_rfa_distseason(form, x, w = 1/pi, ...)

Arguments

x, a	Coordinates in the seasonal space. Can be a data.frame or vectors with radius x and angle a.
...	Other parameters.
w	Weight to favor angle over radius. By default it is 1/pi, which bring angle in the interval [0,1].
form	Formula and dataset providing the coordinates of the seasonal space. Must be of the form radius ~ angle.

Value

Returns a matrix of distances between points in the seasonal space that characterizes timing and regularity.

                     angle = runif(5,0,2*pi))
