l2norm {wavethresh}R Documentation

Compute L2 distance between two vectors of numbers.

Description

Compute L2 distance between two vectors of numbers (square root of sum of squares of differences between two vectors).

Usage

l2norm(u,v)

Arguments

u first vector of numbers
v second vector of numbers

Details

Function simply computes the L2 distance between two vectors and is implemented as

sqrt(sum((u-v)^2))

Value

A real number which is the L2 distance between two vectors.

#p <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
#q <- c(1,2,3,4,5)
#r <- c(2,3,4,5,6)
#l2norm(p,q)
# [1] 0
#l2norm(q,r)
# [1] 2.236068
#l2norm(r,p)
# [1] 2.236068
