JSdist {cummeRbund} | R Documentation

## Jensen-Shannon distance on columns

### Description

JSdist takes a matrix of expression probabilites (calculated directly or output from makeprobs()) and returns a dist object of the pairwise Jensen-Shannon distances between columns

### Usage

    JSdist(mat,...)

### Arguments

`mat` | A matrix of expression probabilities (e.g. from makeprobs())
`...` | Passthrough argument to as.dist()

### Details

Returns pairwise Jensen-Shannon distance (in the form of a dist object) for a matrix of probabilities (by column)

### Value

A dist object of pairwise J-S distances between columns.

### Examples

    mat<-matrix(sample(1:50,50),10)
    probs<-makeprobs(mat)
    js.distance<-JSdist(probs)
