Przemyslaw and Tomasz, thank you for making this book available.

We have learned a lot during our first book club in the r4ds community.
 
It seems to make more sense if the result of $d^k()$ in categorical variables is 0 when the variables are the same, and 1 when they are different. This would show similar values to the results for numeric variables.
