Hello,

I have data which i have used PCA and t-SNE to cluster. Why does euclidean give me the best seperation?

Thanks

There is no single "best" choice of distance metric (as far as I can tell), and it is not the job of statistical software to decide which distance metric is better for your data. MATLAB provides options, and sets a default option. Euclidean definitely seems to be the most commonly used metric, so it is sensible as a default.
