is the causative agent of the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea. The increasing prevalence of this disease worldwide, the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains, and the difficulties in treatment necessitate the development of a vaccine, highlighting the significance of preventative measures to control and eradicate the infection. Currently, there is no widely available vaccine, partly due to the bacterium's ability to evade natural immunity and the limited research investment in gonorrhea compared to other diseases.

Many a time, the similarity level between data points is derived through a distance measure; so, a number of clustering techniques reliant on such a measure are developed. Clustering algorithms are modified by employing an appropriate distance measure due to the high versatility of a data set.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDistance measures play a central role in evolving the clustering technique. Due to the rich mathematical background and natural implementation of [Formula: see text] distance measures, researchers were motivated to use them in almost every clustering process. Beside [Formula: see text] distance measures, there exist several distance measures.
