cmd: Correlation matrix distance

Description

Computes the correlation matrix distance between two correlation matrices

Usage

cmd(x, y)

Value

Returns the correlation matrix distance, which is a value between 0 and 1. The correlation matrix distance becomes zero for equal correlation matrices and unity if they differ to a maximum extent.

Arguments

x

First correlation matrix

y

Second correlation matrix
