This error measure is called '''least-squares delta error''' | This error measure is called '''least-squares delta error'''. Least-squares delta error does not depend on whether the chord whose error is being measured is 1:''r''<sub>1</sub>:''r''<sub>2</sub>:...:''r''<sub>''n''</sub> or the same chord linearly shifted to have root α. Unfortunately, this error measure does not form a metric on the set of delta signatures with a fixed number of terms. | ||

Another possible approach is to view delta signatures as vectors of positive reals by fixing the first element as 1) and measure the induced <math>L^p</math> distance. | |||
