metric.lp: Aproximates Lp-metric distances for functional data.

Description

Measures the proximity between the functional data and curves approximating Lp-metric. If w = 1 approximates the Lp-metric by Simpson's rule. By default it uses lp = 2 and weights w = 1.

Usage

metric.lp(fdata1,fdata2=NULL,lp=2,w=1,...)

Arguments

fdata1

Functional data 1 or curve 1. If fdata class, the dimension of fdata1$data object is (n1 x m), where n1 is the number of curves and m are the points observed in each curve.

fdata2

Functional data 2 or curve 2. If fdata class, the dimension of fdata2$data object is (n2 x m), where n2 is the number of curves and m are the points observed in each curve.

Lp norm, by default it uses lp = 2

Vector of weights with length m, If w = 1 approximates the metric Lp by Simpson's rule. By default it uses w = 1

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

By default it uses the L2-norm with lp = 2. $$Let \ \ f(x)= fdata1(x)-fdata2(x)$$ $$\left\|f\right\|_p=\left ( \frac{1}{\int_{a}^{b}w(x)dx} \int_{a}^{b} \left|f(x)\right|^{p}w(x)dx \right)^{1/p}$$ The observed points on each curve are equally spaced (by default) or not. The L$\infty$-norm is computed with lp = 0. $$d(fdata1(x),fdata2(x))_{\infty}=sup \left|fdata1(x)-fdata2(x)\right|$$
