This function allows you to calculate the euclidean distance between two vectors
euc_dist(data, var1, var2)
# Create some data
df <- data.frame(vowel = gl(n = 2, k = 5, labels = c('a', 'o')),
var1 = rnorm(10, 10, 2),
var2 = rnorm(10, 20, 2))
# Calculate euc.dist on entire data frame
euc_dist(data = df, var1 = var1, var2 = var2)
#> [1] 30.38112
# Calculate euc.dist for each vowel
library(dplyr)
df %>%
group_by(., vowel) %>%
summarise(euc = euc_dist(., var1 = var1, var2 = var2))
#> # A tibble: 2 × 2
#> vowel euc
#> <fct> <dbl>
#> 1 a 30.4
#> 2 o 30.4
