Canberra distance

The Canberra distance is a numerical measure of the distance between pairs of points in a vector space, introduced in 1966and refined in 1967 by Godfrey N. Lance and William T. Williams. It is a weighted version of L₁ (Manhattan) distance.The Canberra distance has been used as a metric for comparing and for intrusion detection in computer security. It has also been used to analyze the gut microbiome in different disease states.
