Our contribution in this study is to utilize both the SOM properties and the advantages of spectral clustering, by obtaining the data representatives (prototypes) with the SOM and clustering the SOM prototypes by spectral partitioning using a local density-based similarity CONN instead of a distance-based similarity, for agriculture monitoring.
This paper considers an extension to the minimum p-envy location model by evaluating the objective of the model based on a survival function instead of on a distance function since survival probability is directly related to patient outcomes with a constraint on minimum survival rate.
Instead of defining a distance function d(D0, D*) between the full datasets, it may be more convenient to define it on sufficient summary statistics, S D0) and S(D*), of the datasets.
As an alternative to the first step, instead of picking a distance, you could choose a time in which you plan to work.

RAMI produces clusters of sequences based on genetic change (the so called patristic distance) instead of a score-based genetic distance, which should result in accurate and evolutionary robust clustering.
V beta is the beta-sheet potential, constructed analogously to V helix but using an equilibrium beta torsion angle instead of a bead-bead distance: (5) V b e t a = K i 1 - 4 ∑ i = 2 N - 2 C b (φ i - φ b ) 2 K i 1 - 4 is the average beta propensity of residues i-1, i, i+1, and i+2.
In cooperative work applications, such as cooperative text editing and distributed software development, instead of metric distance, a semantic distance that measures the strength of the relations between different elements of a text document/software project is used.
An activist in Salzburg attended the One Billion Rising: Rise for Revolution event and marched with sign welcoming refugees that said "two arms for respect and solidarity instead of an arm-length distance".
