• subset_distance_hamming.m, computes the Hamming distance between two subsets.
• subset_distance_histogram.m, displays a histogram from N samples of pairwise distances.
• subset_distance_pdf.m, displays a plot of the exact PDF of the pairwise distances.
• subset_distance_stats.m, estimates the mean and variance of the pairwise distance, using sampling.
• subset_sample.m, returns a random subset of an M set.
