compute

public double compute(double[] a,
                      double[] b)
               throws DimensionMismatchException

Compute the distance between two n-dimensional vectors.

The two vectors are required to have the same dimension.

Specified by:

compute in interface DistanceMeasure

Parameters:

a - the first vector

b - the second vector

Returns:

the distance between the two vectors

Throws:

DimensionMismatchException - if the array lengths differ.
