NAME ^

svdcompare.pl

SYNOPSIS ^

Simulates 'diff' system command on numeric matrices allowing some precision errors within a given tolerance.

USGAE ^

svdcompare.pl MATRIX1 MATRIX2 TOLERANCE

INPUT ^

MATRIX1 MATRIX2

Should be the matrix files to be compared, formatted like SenseClusters' standard matrix/vector format.

TOLERANCE

Should be a numeric value (integer or float) specifying the tolerance limit. Matrix cells at the same locations ([i][j]) in MATRIX1 and MATRIX2 that differ by more than the given TOLERANCE will be treated as different.

OUTPUT ^

Output will be blank if no pair of matrix cells appearing at the same location in MATRIX1 and MATRIX2 has an absolute difference more than a given TOLERANCE.

Following conditions will lead to non-blank output -

1. If the number of rows in the two matrices are different.

2. If ROWi in MATRIX1 has different number of columns than ROWi in MATRIX2.

3. If abs(MATRIX1[i][j]-MATRIX2[i][j]) > TOLERANCE

where abs() shows the absolute function.

Output if displayed will show

< LI1

> LI2

where LI1 is an Ith line in MATRIX1 and LI2 is an Ith line in MATRIX2, for all lines I where the matrices differ as per the above conditions.
