Definition

The class Weighted_Minkowski_distance provides an implementation of the concept OrthogonalDistance, with a weighted Minkowski metric on \( d\)-dimensional points defined by \( l_p(w)(r,q)= ({\Sigma_{i=1}^{i=d} \, w_i(r_i-q_i)^p})^{1/p}\) for \( 0 < p <\infty\) and defined by \( l_{\infty}(w)(r,q)=max \{w_i |r_i-q_i| \mid 1 \leq i \leq d\}\).

For the purpose of the distance computations it is more efficient to compute the transformed distance \( {\sigma_{i=1}^{i=d} \, w_i(r_i-q_i)^p}\) instead of the actual distance.
