Calculate distance between sample data before and after registration

calculate_distance() is a function that allows users to calculate pairwise distances between samples from different time points to investigate the similarity of progression before or after registration.

Usage

calculate_distance(results, type = c("registered", "all"), genes_list = NULL)

Arguments

results: Result of registration process using register().
type: Whether to calculate distance considering only "registered" genes (default) or "all" genes.
genes_list: Optional vector indicating the gene_id values to be considered.

Value

This function returns a dist_greatR object containing two data frames:

registered: pairwise distance between scaled reference and query expressions using registered time points.
original: pairwise distance between scaled reference and query expressions using original time points.
