Dissimilarities refer to the differences or lack of similarities between two or more objects, concepts, or ideas. It is a measure of the degree of dissimilarity or dissimilitude between them. Dissimilarity can be assessed or measured based on various criteria such as physical characteristics, attributes, behavior, values, beliefs, or any other relevant factor that distinguishes them from one another. Dissimilarity is often used in contrast to similarity, which refers to the extent to which two or more things are alike or share common features or traits.
