[PDF] distance metrics for clustering

Distance metrics are used in supervised and unsupervised learning to calculate similarity in data points. They improve the performance, whether that's for classification tasks or clustering. The four types of distance metrics are Euclidean Distance, Manhattan Distance, Minkowski Distance, and Hamming Distance.

  • What is the distance metric in K clustering?

    Distance metric plays a cruicial role in identifying these similar data points and forming respective clusters.
    K-Means uses euclidean distance, as the default distance metric, for clustering.
    Therefore, it is importmant to play around with different distance measures for any dataset.

  • What is distance matrix in clustering?

    A distance matrix is a table that shows the distance between pairs of objects.
    For example, in the table below we can see a distance of 16 between A and B, of 47 between A and C, and so on.
    By definition, an object's distance from itself, which is shown in the main diagonal of the table, is 0.

  • What is the best distance metric for hierarchical clustering?

    For most common hierarchical clustering software, the default distance measure is the Euclidean distance.
    This is the square root of the sum of the square differences.
    However, for gene expression, correlation distance is often used.

  • What is the best distance metric for hierarchical clustering?

    In Average linkage clustering, the distance between two clusters is defined as the average of distances between all pairs of objects, where each pair is made up of one object from each group. D(r,s) = Trs / ( Nr * Ns) Where Trs is the sum of all pairwise distances between cluster r and cluster s.
