Minkowski distance
The Minkowski distances are the set of distance metrics with different degree
and are widely used for distance computation in different algorithms.
The most commonly used distance metric, Euclidean distance, is also a Minkowski
distance with

The most commonly used distance metric, Euclidean distance, is also a Minkowski
distance with .Mathematical formulation
Computing
Given a set 
of dimension 
of dimension 
for any pair of input vectors:
U
of n
feature vectors of dimension k
and a set V
of m
feature vectors
of dimension k
, the problem is to compute the Minkowski distance
for any pair of input vectors:
where 
.
.Computation method:
dense
The method defines Minkowski distance metric, which is used in other algorithms
for the distance computation. There are no separate computation mode to compute distance
manually.
