Title:
 Comparison of distance measures for multivariate objects described by binary variable

Language: Polish

Keywords:
proximity measures
distance measures
factor analysis
classification

Summary:
In the paper measures for assessing the strength of the relationship between two binary variables are presented. Data regarding twenty two winter triticale genotypes were used to compare the investigated measures, subject to similarity of their empirical values. The measures were divided into groups by means of factor analysis.
