Recommend adding "rss()" (root-sum-squared) function in JMP. This is very useful for calculating the magnitude of vectors, hypotenuse of 2-d and 3-d triangles, etc.
Basically it would take the square-root of the sum of the squared terms.
@BHarris Agree. The Distance function is close, flexible, but not easy to use or explain.
v = [3 4];distance(v,v*0)^.5;
[5]
I've used this
sqrt(sum([3 4]^2))
5
which is not immediately obvious either. Length and Abs are already in use with an array argument. I think Magnitude might be a better name than Rss.
Magnitude([1 2 3, 4 5 6]) should return a 2 row by 1 col matrix.
Magnitude(1,2,3) should return a scalar.
Or Hypotenuse.
