Pairwise Distance Matrix

from Pairwise Distance Matrix by Mo Chen
Compute a matrix of square Euclidean or Mahalanobis distances between points sets(fully optimized!).

sqdistance(A, B, M)
function D = sqdistance(A, B, M)
% Compute square Euclidean or Mahalanobis distances between all pair of vectors.
%   A: d x n1 data matrix
%   B: d x n2 data matrix
%   M: d x d  Mahalanobis matrix
%   D: n1 x n2 pairwise square distance matrix
