Dissimilarity measures for symbolic objects

From MaRDI portal





In this paper it is assumed that we have given a set of symbolic objects represented by the rows of a symbolic data array \(\underline{X}=(\xi_{kj})_{N\times p}\). In order to exploit the power of classical data analysis, such as multidimensional scaling, clustering, factorial or discriminant analysis, the classical dissimilarity or similarity matrix is generated from the symbolic objects. It is shown how to determine a resemblance measure between pairs of symbolic objects. The described resemblance measures are based on dissimilarity measures proposed for Boolean symbolic objects by \textit{K.C. Gowda} and \textit{E. Diday} [Pattern Recognition 24, No. 6, 567-578 (1991)], \textit{M. Ichino} and \textit{H. Yaguchi} [IEEE Trans. Syst. Man Cybern. SMC-24, No. 4, 698-708 (1994)], \textit{F.A.T. De Carvalho} [C. Hayashi et al. (eds.), Studies in Classification, Data Analysis, and Knowledge Organization, 370-378 (1998; Zbl 0894.62006)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1039.62501].
