The functions computed the distances in terms of Structural equivalence (Lorrain and White, 1971) between the units of a one-mode network. Several options for treating the diagonal values are supported.

sedist(M, method = "default", fun = "default",
   fun.on.rows = "default", handle.interaction = "switch",
   use = "pairwise.complete.obs", ...)

`M`	A matrix representing the (usually valued) network. For now, only one-relational networks are supported. The network must be one-mode.
`method`	The method used to compute distances - any of the methods allowed by functions dist, cor or cov all package::stats or just "cor" or "cov" (given as character).
`fun`	Which function should be used to compute distances (given as character), .
`fun.on.rows`	For non-standard function - does the function compute measure on rows (such as `cor`, `cov`,...) of the data matrix (as opposed to computing measure on columns (such as `dist`).
`handle.interaction`	How should the interaction between the vertices analysed be handled: "switch" (the default) - assumes that when comparing units i and j, M[i,i] should be compared with M[j,j] and M[i,j] with M[j,i]. This two comparisons are weighted by 2. This should be used with euclidean distance to get the corrected euclidean distance with p = 2. "switch2" - the same (alias) "switch1" - the same as above, only that the two comparisons are weighted by 1. This should be used with euclidean distance to get the corrected euclidean distance with p = 1. "ignore" (diagonal) - Diagonal is ignored. This should be used with euclidean distance to get the corrected euclidean distance with p = 0. "none" - the matrix is used "as is"
`use`	For use with methods "cor" and "cov", for other methods (the default option should be used if handle.interaction=="ignore"), "pairwise.complete.obs" are always used, if stats.dist.cor.cov=TRUE
`...`	Additional arguments to `fun`

If both method and fun are "default", the euclidean distances are computed. the "default" method for fun="dist" is "euclidean" and for fun="cor" "pearson".

A matrix (usually of class dist) is returned.
