The Metric Index

Abstract
The power transformation that turns an arbitrary even dissimilarity into a semidistance or a definite dissimilarity into a distance is discussed. A method for the metric index computation is deducted and applied to determine the metric indices of 19 standard dissimilarity measures on dichotomous data.
