Dissimilarity between two data matrices based on the RV coefficient

Description

Dissimilarity between two data matrices based on the RV coefficient.

Usage

drv(y, x)

Arguments

y

A numerical matrix.

x

A numerical matrix.

Details

The dissimilarity between the two data matrices is computed as \sqrt{2}\sqrt{1-RV(y, x)}, where RV(y,x)is the RV coefficient.

Value

The value of the dissimilarity.
