In this paper, we focus on a caterpillar as a rooted labeled unordered tree (a tree, for short) transformed to a path after removing all the leaves in it. Also we introduce a path histogram distance between trees as an L-1-distance between the histograms of paths from the root to every leaf. Whereas the path histogram distance is not a metric for trees, we show that, for caterpillars, it is always a metric, simply linear-time computable and incomparable with the edit distance. Furthermore, we give experimental results for caterpillars in real data of comparing the path histogram distance with the isolated-subtree distance as the most general tractable variation of the edit distance. |
