Rcpp bindings to the Emd-L1 distance library for the Earth Mover's Distances
Earth Mover's Distance is a popular distance measure. This package provides the Emd-L1 library.
Note the rather stringent non-commercial licensing terms in the C++ source code and copied into LICENSE.
The emdist package provides Earth Mover's Distance calculations under a more common open source license.
We wrote this package many years ago as a first and rather simple illustration of Rcpp. At the time, no other Earth Mover's Distance implementations were available for R. These days, you may wan to use emdist or one of the other, newer distance-computing packages.
