Data Set (Distance (minkowsky))

In this post, I will give an example of calculating distances using Minkowski 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

r = 4

We will calculate the data using the minkowski distance.

The formula we will use is :

For Minkowski's calculations, there is a power that is r, which has a value of 1/r

To perform the following calculations :

The explanation is :

• 7 = 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 :

The explanation is:

• 1/r is the power to which the last calculation will be performed
• r here is worth 4 (can be any value)

So, the distance between the two data using the Minkowski distance is 0.5
