The following table (which is not output by the VectorDistance function) shows the distances of the target vectors from the reference vector (UserID 5) and their similarity ranks. The shorter the distance, the higher the similarity rank. Similarity rank is independent of measure—if relative distances are shorter in one measure, they are shorter in all measures. UserID 3 is most similar to UserID 5.
