phenoDist {doppelgangR} | R Documentation |
This function does some simple looping to allow x and y to be various combinations of vectors and matrices/dataframes.
phenoDist(x, y = NULL, bins = 10, vectorDistFun = vectorWeightedDist, ...)
x |
A vector, matrix or dataframe |
y |
NULL, a vector, matrix, or dataframe. If x is a vector, y must also be specified. |
bins |
discretize continuous fields in the specified number of bins |
vectorDistFun |
A function of two vectors that returns the distance between those vectors. |
... |
Extra arguments passed on to vectorDistFun |
a matrix of distances between pairs of rows of x (if y is unspecified), or between all pairs of rows between x and y (if both are provided).
