single_linkage_distance: Calculates the single linkage distance between two clusters

In sbrn3/disscat: Calculates Distances Between Single Cell RNA Seq Categories

Description

Uses data from two matricies, representing a cluster each and calculates the single linkage distance between each cluster. The single linkage distance is the shortest distance between any two points between the two matricies.

Usage

single_linkage_distance(matrix_1, matrix_2, distance = "euclidean")

Arguments

matrix_1	Data for cluster 1. Cell by reduced dimension components
matrix_2	Data for cluster 2 . Cell by reduced dimension components
distance	Point to point distance method to use. e.g. 'euclidean'.

Value

Real positive number representing the distance
