This function computes and returns the distance matrix by using the specified distance measure to compute distance between symbolic interval variables.
sym.dist.interval(sym.data, gamma = 0.5, method = "Minkowski",
normalize = TRUE, SpanNormalize = FALSE, q = 1, euclidea = TRUE,
pond = rep(1, length(variables)))A symbolic object
gamma value for the methods ichino and minkowski.
Method to use (Gowda.Diday, Ichino, Minkowski, Hausdorff)
A logical value indicating whether normalize the data in the ichino or hausdorff method.
A logical value indicating whether
q value for the hausdorff method.
A logical value indicating whether use the euclidean distance.
A numeric vector
Numeric vector with the number of the variables to use.
An object of class 'dist'
