We present a Monte-Carlo simulation analysis of the statistical properties of absolute genetic distance and of Nei's minimum ahd standard genetic distances. The estimation of distances (bias) and of their variances is analysed as well aa the distributions of distance and variance estimators, taking

Abstract
Distance functions serve for quantitative evaluation of the degree of similarity, shape content, symmetry, chirality, and so on. We have developed a general methodology and a general computational tool for the estimation of the value of the distance function and of the error in that estimation, which originates in the experimental uncertainty in the location of the set of points of the studied structure (such as that expressed by the atomic displacement factor in Xβray data analysis).

## Abstract Let ΞΌ be a Radon measure with compact support in IR^n^ such that equation image We show that the imw of ΞΌ x ΞΌ under the distance map (x, y) β |xβ y| is an absolutely continuous measure with density of class C^a^β(n+1)/2. As a corollary we get that If AC IR^n^ is a Suslin set with Haus
