canberra: Compute Canberra Dissimilarity from a from a Dense or Sparse Matrix.

Description

Calculates the Canberra dissimilarity of a Matrix pairwise for each column.

Usage

canberra(x, weighted = TRUE, threads = 1)

Value

A column x column dist object.

Arguments

x

A matrix, sparseMatrix or Matrix.

weighted

A boolean value, to use abundances (weighted = TRUE) or absence/presence (weighted=FALSE) (default: TRUE).

threads

A wholenumber, the number of threads to use in setThreadOptions (default: 1).

Details

The Canberra dissimilarity between two samples \(A\) and \(B\), each of length \(n\), is defined as:

\(d(A,B) = \frac{1 / NZ} \sum_{i}^n \frac{|A_i - B_i|}{|A_i| + |B_i|}\)

where \(A_i\) and \(B_i\) are the abundances of the \(i\)-th feature in sample \(A\) and \(B\), respectively. NZ are the number of non-zero entries. When weighted is set to FALSE, counts are replaced by presence/absence data.
