Distance measures are used in physical cosmology to give a natural notion of the distance between two objects or events in the universe. They are often...

In aviation, distance measuring equipment (DME) is a radio navigation technology that measures the slant range (distance) between an aircraft and a ground...

theory, the total variation distance is a distance measure for probability distributions. It is an example of a statistical distance metric, and is sometimes...

distance measure denotes the distance that can be travelled by walking in a fixed amount of time. In Japan, the standard measure for walking distance...
