Probability Distributions of Minkowski Distances between Discrete Random Variables.

Schroger, Erich; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v53 n2 p379-98 Sum 1993

Minkowski distances are used to indicate similarity of two vectors in an N-dimensional space. How to compute the probability function, the expectation, and the variance for Minkowski distances and the special cases City-block distance and Euclidean distance. Critical values for tests of significance are presented in tables. (SLD)
