Classical resemblance measures

From MaRDI portal





In the classical case, properties of individuals from a basic set \(\Omega=\{1,\dots,n\}\) are described by \(n\) data vectors \(x_1,\dots,x_n\) from an observation space \({\mathcal X}=\overset{p}{\underset{j=1}{\bigtimes}}{\mathcal Y}_j\). Then we can, in principle, evaluate the similarity (or dissimilarity) that exists between a pair of individuals \(k,l\in\Omega\) either by an intuitive visual inspection of \(p\) components of the corresponding vectors \(x_k,x_l\in\mathcal X\) or by a quantitative real-valued measure \(s(k,l)\) or \(d(k,l)\), respectively. This section presents various methods for deriving similarity and dissimilarity measures from a matrix of observed data. Similarity and dissimilarity measures are jointly called resemblance measures. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1039.62501].
