The DISTANCE Procedure
- computes various measures of distance, dissimilarity, or similarity between the observations (rows) of a SAS data set
- proximity measures are stored as a lower triangular matrix or a square matrix in an output data set that can then be used as input to the CLUSTER, MDS, and MODECLUS procedures
- provides various nonparametric and parametric methods for standardizing variables
- proximity measures accept four levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio
- obtain separate analyses on observations in groups
