Abstract
- The aim of this paper is twofold. First it is shown that taking densities between objects into account to define proximities between them is intuitively a right way to process. Secondly, some new distances based on density estimates are defined and some properties are presented. Many algorithms in clustering or discriminant analysis require the choice of a dissimilarity: two applications are presented, one in clustering and the other in discriminant analysis, and illustrate the benefits of using these new distances.
