Calculates the average of the differences between all possible pairs of (symmetric) matrices in a list using a given distance measure.
calculateDistance(
.matrices = NULL,
.distance = args_default()$.distance
)A numeric vector of length one containing the (arithmetic) mean of
the differences between all possible pairs of matrices supplied via .matrices.
A list of at least two matrices.
Character string. A distance measure. One of: "geodesic" or "squared_euclidean". Defaults to "geodesic".
.matrices must be a list of at least two matrices. If more than two matrices
are supplied the arithmetic mean of the differences between all possible pairs of
(symmetric) matrices in a list is computed. Mathematically this is
n chose 2. Hence, supplying a large number of matrices will
become computationally challenging.
Currently two distance measures are supported:
geodesic(Default) The geodesic distance.
squared_euclideanThe squared Euclidean distance
