subspaceDistance: Distance Between Linear Spaces

Description

Evaluate the distance between two linear subspaces using the measure proposed by Li, Zha and Chiaromonte (2005).

Usage

subspaceDistance(B0, B1)

Value

A single numeric value.

Arguments

B0

Matrix whose columns are a basis for the first subspace.

B1

Matrix whose columns are a basis for the second subspace.

Author

Matlab original by Yongtao Guan, translated to R by Suman Rakshit.

Details

This algorithm calculates the maximum absolute value of the eigenvalues of \(P1-P0\) where \(P0,P1\) are the projection matrices onto the subspaces generated by B0,B1. This measure of distance was proposed by Li, Zha and Chiaromonte (2005). See also Xia (2007).
