Sammanfattning	Canberra distance is a weighted version of the Manhattan distance that normalizes differences by the sum of absolute values. Introduced by Geoffrey Lance and William Williams in 1967 as part of their work on clustering classification methods, this metric emphasizes differences in small values and is sensitive to changes in relative proportions. It is commonly used in taxonomy, ecology, decision-making, and any application where normalized relative differences matter.	Sorensen-Dice coefficient, also called Dice coefficient or Czekanowski index, measures the similarity between two sets or samples based on presence and absence of attributes. Introduced independently by Thorvald Sorensen (1948) and Lee Dice (1945), this index ranges from 0 (completely dissimilar) to 1 (identical). It is particularly well-suited for binary presence-absence data and is the symmetric counterpart to the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity for abundance data.
