Abstract

This paper deals with a measure of distance for cluster analysis. The distance here is defined as a generalization of similarity measures of binary variables using fuzzy set theory. It is proved that the distance introduced in this paper satisfies the triangular inequality. Two algorithms are developed and their convergence is proved.
