Class ChebyshevDistance

    java.lang.Object
      weka.core.NormalizableDistance
          weka.core.ChebyshevDistance

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, DistanceFunction, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler

    public class ChebyshevDistance

extends NormalizableDistance
implements TechnicalInformationHandler

Implements the Chebyshev distance. The distance between two vectors is the greatest of their differences along any coordinate dimension.
For more information, see:
Wikipedia. Chebyshev distance. URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_distance.

Valid options are:

     -D
      Turns off the normalization of attribute
      values in distance calculation.

     -R <col1,col2-col4,...>
      Specifies list of columns to used in the calculation of the
      distance. 'first' and 'last' are valid indices.
      (default: first-last)

     -V
      Invert matching sense of column indices.
