I want to discuss with you which similarity measure which meets my requirements. My vectors could be look like that:
A = (-4,0,4,null)
B = (-2,null,-4,null)
C = (4,4,4,4)
D = (0,0,0,0)
E = (null,null,null,null)
F = (-4,-4,-4,-4)
The values are activity values in a range from -5 to +5. The value of 0 stand for an non active value and values near -5 and +5 stand for an high active value. So i am searching for the right similarity measure.
I want to get the similarity between all combinations of the these vectors. I think the similarity between C and F must be 1 and the similarity between C and D must be 0:
C:E = 0
C:F = 1
C:D = 0
A:B = i think something over 0.5
I hope you unterstand my requirements. My question is now: which similarity measure could meet my requirements?
EDIT:
- 0 is not the same as null. null is really not defined
- The similarity measure needs only to calculate the similarity between two vectors
