Calcdifference

Purpose

Calculate normalized difference between two datasets.

Synopsis

[diffval, diffvalstr] = calcdifference(x1,x2)

Description

Calculate normalized difference between 2 datasets (scaled to the first dataset input)

diffval = ${\frac {{\text{norm}}\left(x_{1,incl}(:)-x_{2,incl}(:)\right)}{{\text{norm}}\left(x_{1,incl}(:)\right)}}$

where the designation $x_{i,incl}(:)$ specifies that only included data (all modes) are used in the calculation.

Inputs

• x1 = dataset to be compared to; difference is scaled relative to this response
• x2 = dataset to be compared to x1

Outputs

• diffval = normalized difference between x1 and x2.
• diffvalstr = string representation of diffval.
