dist: Calculate the dissimilarity matrix between two DZdata or HMdata datasets

Description

Calculate the dissimilarity matrix between two datasets of class DZdata or HMdata using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Sircombe-Hazelton, Aitchison or Bray Curtis distance

Usage

dist(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'default':
dist(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'DZdata':
dist(x, metric = NULL, ...)
## S3 method for class 'HMdata':
dist(x, metric = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

an object of class DZdata or HMdata

...

optional arguments to the generic dist function

metric

(optional) either "KS", "SH", "aitchison" or "bray"

Value

• a matrix of pairwise distances

Examples

fname <- system.file("DZ.csv",package="provenance")
DZ <- read.DZdata(fname)
print(round(100*dist(DZ)))
