Milne's pitch-class spectral distance

Source: R/milne-pc-spec-dist.R

Computes Milne's pitch-class spectral distance measure between two sonorities.

milne_pc_spec_dist(x, y, ...)

Arguments

x

First sonority, passed to milne_pc_spectrum.
y

Second sonority, passed to milne_pc_spectrum.
...

Further arguments passed to milne_pc_spectrum.

Value

A numeric scalar where greater values indicate greater distance. 0 is the minimum possible distance. 1 corresponds to two uncorrelated spectra; values greater than 1 are possible if the spectra are inversely correlated.

Details

See Milne and Holland (2016) for details.
