Find approaches on how to combine different similarity metrics #19

Another interesting problem is "How to combine different similarity metrics?". Different similarity measures reveal different information and dependencies, but all of them miss some information. It would be nice to have a method to combine the insights of different similarity metrics.

After the values have been scaled to be comparable and combinable (Issue #18 ), similarity values can be combined using different combination functions.

Here again, the usefulness of the different combination functions has to be validated by the climatologists.

A first approach is to use a simple combination function like multiplying the two similarity values.

This issue is now divided in two other issues treating the level of agreement between similarity measures #20 and treating more meaningful possibilities for combinations #22
