data mining short question
State whether the following proximity measuresβcosine, correlation, and Euclidean distanceβare invariant (unchanged) under the following transformations. Specifically, if π₯βπ₯β² and π¦βπ¦β², would cosine(π₯,π¦) = cosine(π₯β²,π¦β²), correlation(π₯,π¦) = correlation(π₯β²,π¦β²), and Euclidean(π₯,π¦) = Euclidean(π₯β²,π¦β²). Please explain your answers by referring to the formula for each proximity measure. Simple yes or no would not be accepted.
I.Translation: π₯βπ₯ π and π¦βπ¦ π, where π is a constant added to each attribute value in π₯ and π¦.
II.Scaling: π₯βππ₯ and π¦βππ¦, where π is a constant multiplied to each attribute value in π₯ and π¦.
III.Standardization: π₯β(x – c)/d and π¦β(y – c)/d where π and π are constants.
