Compute similarity between two vectors — vector

Compute the similarity score between two vectors using a customized scoring function Two vectors may be from either scRNA-seq or bulk RNA-seq data. The lengths of vec1 and vec2 must match, and must be arranged in the same order of genes. Both vectors should be provided to this function after pre-processing, feature selection and dimension reduction.

Usage

vector_similarity(vec1, vec2, compute_method, ...)

Arguments

vec1: test vector
vec2: reference vector
compute_method: method to run i.e. corr_coef
...: arguments to pass to compute_method function

Value

numeric value of desired correlation or distance measurement
