All Known Implementing Classes:

JaccardDistancesMeasure

public interface DistanceMeasure
extends Serializable

A distance measure interface for calculating the similarity or distance between two sets of values. Implementations of this interface provide custom methods to compute the distance between two sets. The distance measure is used in clustering and similarity calculations for various data points.
