Diagram of three distance measures considered in Eq. (12). Notes: The \(45^{\circ }\) diagonal displacements for Chebyshev are exactly 1 step each, such that the hypotenuse is not accurately depicted, similar to cohort time steps on a standard Lexis diagram. The paths drawn for Manhattan and Chebyshev distances are illustrative examples, as different paths are possible, each with the same respective total length
