distance_matrix {mosbi} | R Documentation

## Compute distances between biclusters

### Description

This function computes a distance matrix between biclusters using different dissimilarity metrics.

### Usage

    distance_matrix(bics, MARGIN = "row", metric = 1L)

### Arguments

`bics` | A list of bicluster objects.
`MARGIN` | Choose if the distance is computed over `"row"` or `"column"`.
`metric` | Integer indicating which metric is used. 1: Bray-Curtis dissimilarity (default), 2: Jaccard distance, 3: 1-overlap coefficient 4: 1 - Fowlkes–Mallows index.

### Value

A numeric matrix of the dissimilarities between all given biclusters.

### Examples

    b <- list(bicluster(row=c(1,2,3,4), column=c(1,2,3,4)),
            bicluster(row=c(3,4,5,6), column=c(3,4,5,6)))
    distance_matrix(b)
