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.
