% INPUT
%   A   NxK matrix (dataset)
%   B   MxK matrix (dataset)
%   R   Radius (optional, default: 1)
%
% OUTPUT
%   D   NxM dissimilarity matrix (dataset)
%
% DESCRIPTION
% Computes the distance matrix D between two sets of vectors, A and B.
% Distances between vectors X and Y are computed based on the spherical
% geodesic formula:
%     D(X,Y) = R arcos (X'Y/R^2)
% X and Y are normalized to a unit length.
%
% If A and B are datasets, then D is a dataset as well with the labels defined
% by the labels of A and the feature labels defined by the labels of B. If A is
% not a dataset, but a matrix of doubles, then D is also a matrix of doubles.
%
% DEFAULT
%   R = 1
%
% REMARKS
% A square SAM-distance D(A,A) for a finite set A can be proved to be
% the l_1-distance (LPDISTM). D(A,A).^{1/2} has a Euclidean behavior, so
% it can be embedded by PSEM in a Euclidean space.
