SpheGeoDist: Geodesic distance on spheres.

In functionaldata/tFrechet: Statistical Analysis for Random Objects and Non-Euclidean Data

Geodesic distance on spheres.

Description

Geodesic distance on spheres.

Usage

SpheGeoDist(y1, y2)

Arguments

y1, y2

Two unit vectors, i.e., with L^2 norm equal to 1, of the same length.

Value

A scalar holding the geodesic distance between y1 and y2.

Examples

d <- 3
y1 <- rnorm(d)
y1 <- y1 / sqrt(sum(y1^2))
y2 <- rnorm(d)
y2 <- y2 / sqrt(sum(y2^2))
dist <- SpheGeoDist(y1,y2)
