R environment

In this section we dive deeper into numerical comparison between our implementation and R’s enviroment. We used two main R packages:

• daisy: This package provides the daisy function, which computes dissimilarities for mixed-type data, including Gower’s distance.

• cran: This package provides a dedicated implementation of Gower’s metric with openMP support.

In following subsections, we present the results and speed comparisons.

• Daisy Module
• Cran Module
