rmsd: Root-mean-square deviation

In EarthSystemDiagnostics/ecustools: A miscellaneous collection of R functions for working with time-series and paleo data.

Description

Calculate the root-mean-square deviation (rmsd) of two numeric vectors.

Usage

rmsd(v1, v2, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

v1	numeric vector for which to compute the rmsd with v2.
v2	numeric vector for which to compute the rmsd with v1; must have the same length as v1.
na.rm	a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

The root-mean-square deviation of v1 and v2, or NA (for na.rm = FALSE) if any of their elements is NA.
