Calculate the square distance between two stationary distributions
This function calculates various square distances measures between distributions, including the, Bhattacharyya distance, Mahalanobis distance, and Euclidean distance.
distance(object,method="Mahalanobis",level=0.95,debias=TRUE,...)
object |
A |
method |
Square distance measure to return: |
level |
The confidence level desired for the output. |
debias |
Approximate debiasing of the square distance. |

A table of confidence intervals on the square distance estimate. A value of 0 implies that the two distributions have the same mean location, while larger values imply that the two distributions are farther apart. The square Euclidean distance has units of square meters. The square Mahalanobis and Bhattacharyya distances are unitless.
The Bhattacharyya distance (BD) is naturally of a squared form and is not further squared.
