Calculate distance matrices — get_dist

Given a dataframe of numerical variables, return a euclidean distance matrix.

Usage

get_dist_matrix(
  df,
  input_type,
  cont_dist_fn,
  disc_dist_fn,
  ord_dist_fn,
  cat_dist_fn,
  mix_dist_fn,
  weights_row
)

df: Raw dataframe with subject IDs in column "subjectkey"
input_type: Either "numeric" (resulting in euclidean distances), "categorical" (resulting in binary distances), or "mixed" (resulting in gower distances)
cont_dist_fn: distance metric function for continuous data
disc_dist_fn: distance metric function for discrete data
ord_dist_fn: distance metric function for ordinal data
cat_dist_fn: distance metric function for categorical data
mix_dist_fn: distance metric function for mixed data
weights_row: Single-row dataframe where the column names contain the column names in df and the row contains the corresponding weights_row.

dist_matrix Matrix of inter-observation distances
