The following keywords are available:

CHISQ. Chi-square distance. This is the weighted distance, where the weight is the mass of the rows or columns. This is the default specification for MEASURE and is the necessary specification for standard correspondence analysis.

EUCLID. Euclidean distance. The distance is the square root of the sum of squared differences between the values for two rows or columns.
