Minkowski distances really deserve a whole chapter for theirselves.
Depending on the value choice of parameter p, explained here below in the introduction,
the concept of Minkowski distance is split up in different distance measures, which are
typically known as taxicab (p=1), Euclidean (p=2), and Chebyshev distances (
Keywords: Minkowski distance, taxicab distance, city block distance, Manhattan
distance, Euclidean distance, Chebyshev distance.
