TRES (version 1.1.5)

subspace: The distance between two subspaces.

Description

This function calculates the distance between the two subspaces with equal dimensions span\((A)\) and span\((B)\), where \(A \in R^{p\times u}\) and \(B \in R^{p\times u}\) are the basis matrices of two subspaces. The distance is defined as $$\|P_{A} - P_{B}\|_F/\sqrt{2d},$$ where \(P\) is the projection matrix onto the given subspace with the standard inner product, and \(d\) is the common dimension.

Usage

subspace(A, B)

Arguments

A

A \(p\)-by-\(u\) full column rank matrix.

B

A \(p\)-by-\(u\) full column rank matrix.

Value

Returns a distance metric that is between 0 and 1
