SH.dist: Sircombe and Hazelton distance

Description

Calculates Sircombe and Hazelton's L2 distance between the Kernel Functional Estimates (KFEs) of two samples with specified analytical uncertainties

Usage

SH.dist(x, i, j, c.con = 0)

Arguments

x

an object of class DZdata

i

index of the first sample

j

index of the second sample

c.con

smoothing bandwidth of the kernel functional estimate
