[Sorry for coming to this so late... I've been trying to play catch-up with ~1000 unread messages in my R-help folder...] If the curves are sufficiently smooth (i.e., `kinks' are quite small, relative to the real sigmoidal features of interest), what I would try is something like smoothing

RSiteSearch(Frechet distance) returned only one hit for me just now, and that was for a Frechet distribution, as you mentioned. Google found www.cs.concordia.ca/cccg/papers/39.pdf, which suggests that computing it may not be easy. If you'd like more help from this

Hi, is there any package (or source code snippet) that will evaluate the Frechet distance for curves represented as sets of points? Searching around only threw up references to a Frechet distribution. Thanks, --- Rajarshi Guha
