compare_fsm uses a specified distance measure to compare FSMs.
compare_fsm(users, gas, comparison = "manhattan")
| users | Numeric vector or numeric matrix with a predefined FSM |
|---|---|
| gas | Numeric vector or numeric matrix with an evolved FSM |
| comparison | Character string of length one with either "manhattan", "euclidean", or "binary". |
Numeric vector of length one for the distance between the two supplied FSMs, calculated according to the comparison argument.
Compares a user-defined FSM to a decoded estimated FSM. If you have have FSMs that may have values in the matrices that are not all simple integers, you can use the distance metric that is most appropriate. Euclidean does sqrt(sum((x_i - y_i)^2)) - the L2 norm. Manhattan takes abs diff between them - the L1 norm. Binary treats non-zero elements as "on" and zero elements as "off" and distance is the proportion of bits in which only one is on amongst those in which at least one is on.
