Rcpp bindings to the Emd-L1 distance library for the Earth Mover's Distances
### About
Earth Mover's Distance is a popular distance measure. This package provides the Emd-L1 library.
### Library License
Note the rather stringent _non-commercial_ licensing terms in the C++ source code and
copied into [LICENSE](LICENSE).
### See Also
The [emdist](https://cran.r-project.org/package=emdist) package provides Earth Mover's
Distance calculations under a more common open source license.
### History
We wrote this package _many_ years ago as a first and rather simple illustration of
[Rcpp](http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.html). At the time, no other Earth Mover's
Distance implementations were available for R. These days, you may wan to use
[emdist](https://cran.r-project.org/package=emdist) or one of the other, newer
distance-computing packages.
