Method VectorDistance

VectorDistance(Double[], Double[], Double)

Calculate the p-norm (i.e. length) between two vectors

Declaration
[Obsolete]
public static double VectorDistance(double[] vec1, double[] vec2, double power)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Double[] vec1

The first vector
System.Double[] vec2

The second vector
System.Double power

The power (2 for cartesian distance, 1 for manhattan, etc.)
Returns
Type Description
System.Double

The length. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lp_space

VectorDistance(Double[], Double[], Double, Double)

Calculate the p-norm (i.e. length) between two vectors

Declaration
[Obsolete]
public static double VectorDistance(double[] vec1, double[] vec2, double power, double oneOverPower)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Double[] vec1

The first vector
System.Double[] vec2

The second vector
System.Double power

The power (2 for cartesian distance, 1 for manhattan, etc.)
System.Double oneOverPower

If you've precalculated oneOverPower and cached it, use this method to save one division operation over VectorDistance(Double[], Double[], Double).
Returns
Type Description
System.Double

The length.
