Dissimilarities Constructor (Double[,], Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32[])

Constructor for Dissimilarities.

public Dissimilarities(
   double[,] x,
   int distanceMethod,
   int distanceScale,
   int iRow,
   int[] indexArray
);

Parameters

x: A double matrix containing the data input matrix.
distanceMethod: An int identifying the method to use in computing the dissimilarities or similarities.
distanceScale: An int containing the scaling option.
iRow: An int identifying whether distances are computed between rows or columns of x.
indexArray: An int array containing the indices of the rows (columns if iRow is 1) to use in computing the distance measure.

Remarks

Acceptable values of distanceMethod are 1, 2, ..., 8. See Remarks section of the Dissimilarities documentation for a description of these methods.

distanceScale	Method
0	No scaling is performed.
1	Scale each column (row if iRow=1) by the standard deviation of the column(row).
2	Scale each column (row if iRow=1) by the range of the column (row).

If iRow = 1, distances are computed between the rows of x. Otherwise, distances between the columns of x are computed.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
ScaleFactorZeroException	is thrown when computations cannot continue because a scale factor is zero.
NoPositiveVarianceException	is thrown when no variable has positive variance
ZeroNormException	is thrown when the Euclidean norm of a column is equal to zero
