Relative information loss, ΔI/I, for all pairs of distances, shown on a log10 scale, calculated by Eq. 14 as a function of transformations of the distance element distances. (a) The x axis is the block element identity distance, B, equal to |i − i′| + |j − j′|. (b) The x axis is B/SSD, where SSD = (si,j + si′,j′). (c) Plots (1 − [ΔI/I]) versus B. (d) Plots (1 − ΔI/I) vs. B/SSD.
