Usage Example with default values

Inputs

Name Type Mandatory Description
in CSV Mandatory A CSV file with coordinate points
reference CSV Mandatory A CSV file with coordinates to find nearest match from.

Outputs

Name Type Description
out CSV Distances for each input point. Number of rows equals rows in in. "Points" refer to in port, and "Reference" to reference port.

Parameters

Name Type Default Description
cols string "*" Column names for distance measure. The same names must be present for both inputs.
distance string "euclidean" Distance calculation method to use. ('euclidean','manhattan','chebyshev','mahalanobis')
inId string "" Column name of the row identifier of points in in input (if exists). Also requires referenceIn parameter. If not defined, only coordinate pairs are returned.
labelCol string "" Column that defines a label column, if the points are from different data sets. The measurements are done only inside the rows with the same label.
nth float 1 Get Nth nearest distance. If the reference input is the same as the in, this must be set to 2, since the first nearest would be the point itself.
referenceId string "" Column name of the row identifier of points in reference input (if exists).
