distance_chi_cpp function

(C++) Normalized Chi Distance Between Two Vectors

(C++) Normalized Chi Distance Between Two Vectors

Computed as: xy <- x + y

y. <- y / sum(y)

x. <- x / sum(x)

sqrt(sum(((x. - y.)^2) / (xy / sum(xy)))). Cannot handle NA values. When x and y have zeros in the same position, NaNs are produced. Please replace these zeros with pseudo-zeros (i.e. 0.0001) if you wish to use this distance metric.

distance_chi_cpp(x, y)

Arguments

  • x: (required, numeric vector).
  • y: (required, numeric vector) of same length as x.

Returns

numeric

Examples

distance_chi_cpp(x = runif(100), y = runif(100))
