Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Based on the description of objects by m attributes, an m-element vector dissimilarity function is defined that, unlike scalar functions, retains the distinction among attributes. This function, which satisfies the conditions for a metric, allows the definition of betweenness, which can then be used for clustering. Applications to the subset-generation phase of conditional clustering and to nearest-neighbor-type algorithms are described.
