The definitions of similarity functions are usually very different for interval-scaled, boolean, categorical, ordinal and ratio variables.

Inferring taxonomic hierarchies from 0

A tree having branch lengths that do not satisfy the ultrametric property is called an additive tree. Additivity, however, does not guarantee that objects ...

Consensus Clustering

In both of these algorithms, the matrix S is used as the similarity measure. Furthest Consensus (FC): The goal of the algorithm is to find ...

Human genetic clustering
Human genetic clustering analysis uses mathematical cluster analysis of the degree of similarity of genetic data between individuals and groups in order to infer population structures and assign individuals to groups. These groupings in turn often, but not always, correspond with the individuals' self-identified geographical ancestry. A similar analysis can be done using principal components analysis, which in earlier research was a popular method. Many studies in the past few years have continued using principal components analysis.
