L2metric: Fast Computation of the \(L^2\) Metric for Sets of Functional Data
Description
Returns the matrix of \(L^2\) distances between two sets of functional data.
Usage
L2metric(A, B)
Value
A symmetric matrix of the distances of the functions of size m*n.
Arguments
A
Functions of the first set, represented by a matrix of their functional values of
size m*d. m stands for the number of functions, d
is the number of the equi-distant points {1,...,d} in the domain of the data [1,d] at which the functional
values of the m functions are evaluated.
B
Functions of the second set, represented by a matrix of their functional values of
size n*d. n stands for the number of functions, d
is the number of the equi-distant points {1,...,d} in the domain of the data [1,d] at which the functional
values of the n functions are evaluated. The grid of observation points for the
functions A and B must be the same.
For two sets of functional data of sizes m and n
represented by matrices of their functional values on the common domain {1,...,d},
this function returns the symmetric matrix of size m*n whose entry in the
i-th row and j-th column is the approximated \(L^2\) distance of the
i-th function from the first set, and the j-th function from the second set.
This function is utilized in the computation of the h-mode depth.
