regime_distance function

Calculate "distance" between two regimes

regime_distance scales each regime parameter to the same magnitude and then calculates distance between scaled regime_pars1 and regime_pars2.

regime_distance(regime_pars1, regime_pars2)

Arguments

• regime_pars1: a numeric vector representing a regime.
• regime_pars2: a numeric vector representing another regime, same length as regime_pars1

Returns

Returns "distance" between regime_pars1 and regime_pars2. Values are scaled to the same magnitude before calculating the "distance". Read the source code for details.
