public ref class PowerDistance : ICloneable

The power distance is computed as:

CopyC#

distance( x, y ) = ( |xi - yi|^p )^1/r

where p and r are user-defined parameters. Parameter p controls the progressive weight that is placed on differences on individual dimensions; parameter r controls the progressive weight that is placed on larger differences between objects. Appropriate selections of p and r yield Euclidean, squared Euclidean, Minkowski, city-block, and many other distance metrics. For example, if p and r are equal to 2, the power distance is equal to the Euclidean distance.
Property DistanceDelegate returns a Distance.Function delegate that encapsulates this.GetDistance. The returned delegate can be used by an instance of class ClusterAnalysis for computing the distances between objects during cluster analysis using the power distance metric.
