I am trying to find the distance between a vector and each row of a dataframe. I am using the function "distancevector" in the package "hopach" as follows:
mydata<-as.data.frame(matrix(c(1,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,0),nrow=2)) V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 1 1 1 0 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 0 vec <- c(1,1,1,1,1) d2<-distancevector(mydata,vec,d="euclid") The Euclidean distance between the two rows of the data frame to the vector should be 1. But I am getting 0.4472136 for both. Can someone please point out the reason for the discrepancy??? Also, are there other packages for calculating the distance between a binary vector and all the rows of a data frame (contains only binary values)? Thank you.
