Description

This function is similar to the native R function from stats

Usage

distDS(df.name, method)

Arguments

df.name	is a string character of the data set (either a data.frame or a matrix)
method	specifies the method for the distance matrix calculation and can be either 'euclidean', 'maximum', 'manhattan', 'canberra', 'binary' or 'minkowski'

Details

The function computes the distance matrix of a data set with multiple variables.

Value
