Data Set (Distance (manhattan))

Data Set (Distance (manhattan))

In this post I will give an example of calculating the distance using the manhattan distance.

I have 2 pieces of data.

This data consists of X data and Y data.

Data X consists of = 5, 3, 1, 0, 1

Data Y consists of = 1, 0, 3, 4, 2

We will calculate the data using the Manhattan distance.

The formula we will use is :

To perform the following calculations :

The explanation is:

• 5 = is the first number of data X
• 1 = is the first number of data Y
• So the formula is X's first data minus Y's first data and so on

So the next calculation is like this:

So, the distance between the two data using the manhattan distance is 0

Notes :

• Calculating the distance using Manhattan, the final result must be absolute
• If the final result is -1, then the absolute value is 1
