Computes the [mean] square error between two profiles.
| Name | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
inProfile1 | Profile | First input profile |
|
inProfile2 | Profile | Second input profile |
|
inRange | Range* | |
|
inDistanceMeasure | DistanceMeasure | Measure of distance |
 |
outDistance | Real | Output distance value |
Description
The operation computes the approximate difference between two profiles using the selected distance measure.
- If the inDistanceMeasure is set to MeanError then the resulting outDistance is the average difference between corresponding values of the profiles.
- If the inDistanceMeasure is set to MeanSquaredError then the resulting outDistance is the average squared difference between corresponding values of the profiles.
The operation requires that the profiles being compared have equal sizes, otherwise an error with appropriate description occurs.
Examples
 |
 |
Mean Squared Error between the sample profiles equals 25245.070.
 |
 |
Mean Error between the sample profiles equals 0.803.
Errors
This filter can throw an exception to report error. Read how to deal with errors in Error Handling.
List of possible exceptions:
| Error type | Description |
|---|---|
| DomainError | DistanceMeasure type not supported in ProfileDistance. |
| DomainError | Empty profile range in ProfileDistance. |
| DomainError | Empty profiles on input in ProfileDistance. |
| DomainError | Input profiles have different X coordinates in ProfileDistance. |
| DomainError | Range exceeds the input profile in ProfileDistance. |
| DomainError | Sizes of input profiles differ in ProfileDistance. |
