dist.JSD: Jensen Shannon Distance Matrix Computation

In tapj/biotyper: BiotypeR: an R package to biotype a community

Description

This function computes and returns the distance matrix computed by using JSD distance measure to compute the distances between the column of a data matrix.

Usage

dist.JSD(inMatrix, pseudocount = 10^(round(log10(min(as.matrix(inMatrix)[as.matrix(inMatrix) > 0])), 0) - 1), ...)

Arguments

inMatrix	a data matrix
pseudocount	a pseudocount used to replace zero count
...	not used

Value

dist.JSD returns an object of class "dist".
