U_product: Inner product in the Hilbert space of U-centered distance matrices

Description

Stand-alone function to compute the inner product in the Hilbert space of U-centered distance matrices, as in the definition of partial distance covariance.

Usage

U_product(U, V)

Arguments

U

U-centered distance matrix

V

U-centered distance matrix

Value

U_product returns the inner product, a scalar.

Details

Note that pdcor, etc. functions include the centering and projection operations, so that these stand alone versions are not needed except in case one wants to check the internal computations.

Exported from U_product.cpp.
