distVectorCloudsR Documentation

Measures the distance between two vector clouds (see GeneFamilies::statVectorCloud) within the same vector space. The vector between the two stat.vecs representing cl.a and cl.b is computed. The deviance spaces of the two respective clouds are projected onto this distance vector, and the remaining 'un-shadowed' length returned. If this length is positive the two clouds do not overlap considering their representatives and the irespective deviance spreads around them.

Description

Measures the distance between two vector clouds (see GeneFamilies::statVectorCloud) within the same vector space. The vector between the two stat.vecs representing cl.a and cl.b is computed. The deviance spaces of the two respective clouds are projected onto this distance vector, and the remaining 'un-shadowed' length returned. If this length is positive the two clouds do not overlap considering their representatives and the irespective deviance spreads around them.

Usage

distVectorClouds(cl.a, cl.b)

Arguments

cl.a

Result of invoking GeneFamilies::statVectorCloud on a set of vectors.

cl.b

Result of invoking GeneFamilies::statVectorCloud on a set of vectors.

Value

Numeric - The length of the difference vector being outside the respective clouds' deviances.
