canberra_distance: Canberra Distance
In wilsontom/modelmisc: Miscellaneous tools for modelling

Description Usage Arguments Value References

Calculate the Canberra Distance between two vectors of feature ranks. Input vectors must both be numeric and have equal cardinality.

1	canberra_distance(x, y, scale = TRUE)

`x`	a numeric vector
`y`	a numeric vector
`scale`	logical; if `TRUE` then the canberra distance is scaled by the 1 - (maximum possible distance) to give a value between 0 and 1. 1 = vectors are identical, 0 = no similiarity

a numeric value for the canberra distance
