Change similarity measures for better handling attribute thresholds and distance functions
lucaspetry opened this issue · comments
It is not really straightforward to input thresholds, distance functions, and weights to similarity measures considering only the order of the attributes in the dataset. Some suggestions of improvement include:
- Passing thresholds, distances, and weights as dictionaries, in which the keys are the attribute names;
- Ignoring attributes for which no threshold/distance/weight has been given. Maybe a warning could be issued in this case, as there's a good chance that the user forgot to define something.
