Error while using pdist function

X=[1,1;2,2;3,3]

D = pdist(X,Distance)

#This command shows the following error:

Unrecognized function or variable 'Distance'.

Did you mean:

>> D = pdist(X,distance)

#If i try running with distance, the following error is displayed:

Error using distance

Not enough input arguments.

What is the correct way to use distance?

Answer 1

[KSSV]

You cannot use whatever the word you want. There are specified words which are methods of getting the distance.

X=[1,1;2,2;3,3]

X = 3×2

1 1 2 2 3 3

D = pdist(X,'euclidean')

D = 1×3

1.4142 2.8284 1.4142
