squared_wass_decomp {waddR} | R Documentation |
Approximation of the squared Wasserstein distance W_g between two vectors decomposed into size, location and shape. Calculation based on the mean squared difference between the equidistant quantiles of the two input vectors a and b. As an approximation of the distribution, 1000 quantiles are computed for each vector.
