+A Minkowski metric is a metric that is defined by the formula:
+
+`d(x, y) = sum(w .* (x - y) .^ p) ^ (1 / p)`
+
+where the `p` parameter defines the metric 
+and `w` is a potential weight vector (all 1's by default).
+
+Common Minkowski metrics:
+* `Cityblock`/`WeightedCityblock`: Minkowski metric with `p=1`;
+* `Euclidean`/`WeightedEuclidean`: Minkowski metric with `p=2`;
+* `Chebyshev`: Limit of `d` as `p` approaches infinity;
+* `Minkowski`/`WeightedMinkowski`: generic Minkowski metric for any `p`.
+
+## Notes
+* The difference between `Minkowski`/`WeightedMinkowski` and `MinkowskiMetric` 
+  is that while the first are generic Minkowski metrics, 
+  the second is the parent type of these metrics.
