Chebyshev Distance

<Content | Previous | Next >

Chebyshev distance is also called Maximum value distance. It examines the absolute magnitude of the differences between coordinates of a pair of objects. This distance can be used for both ordinal and quantitative variables.

Formula

For example:

Point A has coordinate (0, 3, 4, 5) and point B has coordinate (7, 6, 3, -1).

The Chebyshev Distance between point A and B is

Chebyshev distance is a special case of Minkowski distance with (take a limit)
