man: Manhattan distance

Description

Calculate pairwise Manhattan distances and saves as a dist object.

Usage

man(x, ...)

Arguments

x

n by p matrix or an object of class that extends eSet. If x is an object of class that extends eSet, (eg ExpressionSet) then the function uses its 'exprs' slot.

...

arguments passed to man:

• diagif TRUE, then the diagonal of the distance matrix will be displayed; default is FALSE.
• upperif TRUE, then the upper triangle of the distance matrix will be displayed; default is FALSE.

Value

An instance of the dist class with the pairwise Manhattan distances between the rows of x in case of a matrix or between the features (rows) in case of a class that extends eSet.

Details

This is just an interface to dist with the right parameters set.
