reg_dist: Distance based on the regression parameters
Description
Dataset X is binned into 5 bins in x-direction. A regression line is fitted to the
data in each bin and the regression coefficients are noted. Same is done for
dataset PX. An euclidean distance is calculated between the two sets of regression
parameters. If the relationship between X and PX looks linear, number of bins should
be equal to 1.
Usage
reg_dist(X, PX, nbins = 1)
Arguments
X
a data.frame with two variables, the first column giving
the explanatory variable and the second column giving the response
variable
PX
another data.frame with two variables, the first column giving
the explanatory variable and the second column giving the response
variable
nbins
number of bins on the x-direction, by default nbins = 1
