How do you find the pairwise distance?
Description. D = pdist( X ) returns the Euclidean distance between pairs of observations in X . D = pdist( X , Distance ) returns the distance by using the method specified by Distance . D = pdist( X , Distance , DistParameter ) returns the distance by using the method specified by Distance and DistParameter .
What is Mahalanobis distance used for?
The Mahalanobis distance is one of the most common measures in chemometrics, or indeed multivariate statistics. It can be used to determine whether a sample is an outlier, whether a process is in control or whether a sample is a member of a group or not.
How do you calculate Mahalanobis distance?
The Mahalanobis distance is the distance of the test point from the center of mass divided by the width of the ellipsoid in the direction of the test point.
What is pairwise distance matrix?
In mathematics, computer science and especially graph theory, a distance matrix is a square matrix (two-dimensional array) containing the distances, taken pairwise, between the elements of a set. Depending upon the application involved, the distance being used to define this matrix may or may not be a metric.
