gower
Gower's distance for R. Based in C, using openMP for parallelization.
Usage
library(gower)
reviris <- iris[rev(seq_len(nrow(iris))),,drop=FALSE]
# compute distances
d <- gower_dist(iris, reviris)
# data.frame with less records is recycled
d <- gower_dist(iris[1:3,,drop=FALSE], reviris)
# compute top-n matches
mat <- gower_topn(iris, reviris, n=5)
## mat$index : Array of indices (sorted from better to worse match)
## mat$distance: Array of distances (sorted from small to large)
