Distance based on Pearson's \(R^2\).

The calculated distance is \(D^2 = \frac{1 - COR (`x`')}{2}\)

pearson.dist(x)

Arguments

x	a matrix

Value

distance matrix (distance object)

Details

The distance between the rows of x is calculated. The possible values range from 0 (prefectly correlated) over 0.5 (uncorrelated) to 1 (perfectly anti-correlated).
