RussellRaoDissimilarity

RussellRaoDissimilarity[u, v]
gives the Russell-Rao dissimilarity between Boolean vectors u and v.
  • RussellRaoDissimilarity[u, v] is equivalent to (n10+n01+n00)/Length[u], where n_(ij) is the number of corresponding pairs of elements in u and v respectively equal to i and j.
