DistanceMaximumDistance Method

Computes the maximum (Chebychev) distance between two data sets.

Namespace: CenterSpace.NMath.Core
Assembly: NMath (in NMath.dll) Version: 7.4

Syntax

public static double MaximumDistance(
	DoubleVector data1,
	DoubleVector data2
)

Public Shared Function MaximumDistance ( 
	data1 As DoubleVector,
	data2 As DoubleVector
) As Double

public:
static double MaximumDistance(
	DoubleVector^ data1, 
	DoubleVector^ data2
)

static member MaximumDistance : 
        data1 : DoubleVector * 
        data2 : DoubleVector -> float

Parameters

data1 DoubleVector: The first data set.
data2 DoubleVector: The second data set.

Return Value

Double
The distance between data1 and data2.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
MismatchedSizeException	Thrown if the given data sets do not have equal lengths.

Remarks

This distance is computed as:

Copy

distance( x, y ) = maximum( |xi - yi| )

This distance measure may be appropriate in cases when you want to define two objects as different if they differ on any one of the dimensions.
Missing values are allowed. Pairs of elements are excluded from the distance measure when their comparison returns NaN. If all pairs are excluded, NaN is returned for the distance measure.
