InspectDistances function

Inspection of Distance-Distribution

Visualizes the distances between objects in the data matrix

InspectDistances(DataOrDistances,method= "euclidean",sampleSize = 50000,...)

Arguments

• DataOrDistances: [1:n,1:d] data cases in rows, variables in columns, if not symmetric

  or

  [1:n,1:n] distance matrix, if symmetric

• method: Optional, if Data[1:n,1:d] see parallelDist::parDist for distance method

• sampleSize: double value defining the size of the sample for large distance matrizes, see InspectVariable

• ...: further arguments passed on to InspectVariable

Details

For an interpretation of the distribution analysis of the distance please read [Thrun, 2018, p. 27, 185].
