LqDist: Calculation of the distance between two data sets

Description

LqDist calculates the Wasserstein metric or Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance between two data sets.

Usage

LqDist(E1, E2, q=1)

Value

A positive number.

Arguments

E1, E2

Vectors of data between which a distance is to calculate.

q

Option for the distance measure. If q equals \(1\), the Wasserstein metric will be calculated. If q equals Inf, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance will be calculated. Default option is 1.
