sim2dist(SimMat)

Arguments

• SimMat: similarity matrix of type data.frame with ranges [0, 1]

Returns

copy of input data.frame with similarities inverted to distances (i.e. dist = 1 - sim)

## the 'swissSimilarityMatrix' as similarity and as distance
graphics::image(as.matrix(swissSimilarityMatrix))
