bhattacharyya.matrix

Matrix of pairwise Bhattacharyya distances

Description

Computes Bhattachryya distances for pairs of components given the parameters of a Gaussian mixture.

Usage

bhattacharyya.matrix(muarray,Sigmaarray,ipairs="all", 
                                 misclassification.bound=TRUE)

Arguments

`muarray`	matrix of component means (different components are in different columns).
`Sigmaarray`	three dimensional array with component covariance matrices (the third dimension refers to components).
`ipairs`	`"all"` or list of vectors of two integers. If `ipairs="all"`, computations are carried out for all pairs of components. Otherwise, ipairs gives the pairs of components for which computations are carried out.
`misclassification.bound`	logical. If `TRUE`, upper bounds for misclassification probabilities `exp(-b)` are given out instead of the original Bhattacharyya distances `b`.

Value

A matrix with Bhattacharyya distances (or derived misclassification bounds, see above) between pairs of Gaussian distributions with the provided parameters. If ipairs!="all", the Bhattacharyya distance and the misclassification bound are given as NA for pairs not included in ipairs.
