//
// The Euclidean distance function (\subdoxygen{Statistics}{EuclideanDistanceMetric}
// requires as template parameter the type of the measurement vector. We can
// use this function for any subclass of the \doxygen{FixedArray}. As a
// subclass of the \subdoxygen{Statistics}{DistanceMetric}, it has two basic
// methods, the \code{SetOrigin(measurement vector)} and the
// \code{Evaluate(measurement vector)}. The \code{Evaluate()} method returns
// the distance between its argument (a measurement vector) and the measurement
// vector set by the \code{SetOrigin()} method.
//
// In addition to the two methods, EuclideanDistanceMetric has two more
// methods that return the distance of two measurements ---
// \code{Evaluate(measurement vector, measurement vector)} and the
// coordinate distance between two measurements (not vectors) ---
// \code{Evaluate(measurement, measurement)}. The argument type of the
// latter method is the type of the component of the measurement vector.
//
// We include the header files for the class and the \doxygen{Vector}.
