Re: [igraph] Euclidean distance between two adj matrices

[Gábor Csárdi]

Hi Anupam,

you mean with 'igraph' objects? I don't know of such a function. Maybe
you could play with the operators, create the union of the graphs to
get all edges, the intersection to get the common ones. This should be
enough to calculate the Euclidean distance. (Btw. what do you exactly
mean by 'Euclidean distance'?)

If you have matrices, then it is easy of course:
sqrt(sum((M1 - M2) ^ 2 ))

But this is slow if you have large, sparse matrices.

Best,
Gabor
