The Jaccard distance is more suited for comparing membership in sets of objects

than Euclidian distance and the Pearson coeffcient. Those measurements are more

suited for comparing discrete numerical values.

Similarly, the Tanimoto index is useful for comparing fixed-length, binary

attributes between items than for comparing tuples of numerical data or

variable sized sets.
