Description of options

Data = Name | #Number

Specifies the data matrix for which to create distances.

Columns = All | {Name | #Number, Name | #Number, etc.}

Specifies the columns to include in the distance measure. The default is to include all columns.

Name = Name

Specifies the name for the distance matrix. This name cannot be in use by another matrix already in memory.

Measure = Euclidean | SqEuc | ScldEuc | Manhattan | Minkowski | Mahalanobis | Canberra | Czekanowski | Cosine | R | R2 | Jaccard | Hamming

Specifies the measure to use to calculate the distances.

Lambda = Number

When Measure = Minkowski, specifies the power parameter.
