Distance Metric for Analysis
Use the drop-down menu to select the method used for computing differences between the observation . The EUCLID method is selected by default.
Available methods for computing distances are described in the table below:
Calculates the value equivalent to one (1) minus the squared correlation between pairs.
Select this method only when variables are either ratios, or positive and continuous.
Calculates the chi -squared coefficient between pairs.
Calculates the value equivalent to one (1) minus the similarity ratio between pairs.
Calculates the squared root of the phi -squared coefficient between pairs.
Calculates the phi -squared coefficient between pairs.
