computeDistanceFromPointToSetOfPoints function

Computes distance between a single point and set of points.

Helper to compute distance between a single point and a point set.

computeDistanceFromPointToSetOfPoints(
  a,
  B,
  dist.fun = computeEuclideanDistance
)

Arguments

• a: [numeric(1)]

  Point given as a numeric vector.

• B: [matrix]

  Point set (each column corresponds to a point).

• dist.fun: [matrix]

  Distance function to compute distance between points x and y. Expects a single numeric vector d with the coordinate-wise differences di = (xi - yi). Default is computeEuclideanDist.

Returns

[numeric(1)]
