Hi, I've got a problem I need assistance for: I've got a number of objects which are defined by several parameters/variables. The parameters belong to different scales (metric, ordinal, nominal). How can I express the degree of the homogeneity or similarity of the objects? I'd like as result a number between 0 (unequal in all parameters) and 1 (identical objects). At least the ordinal parameters should be regarded.
