scipy.spatial.distance.matching(u, v)[source]

Computes the Matching dissimilarity between two boolean n-vectors u and v, which is defined as

\frac{c_{TF} + c_{FT}}{n}

where c_{ij} is the number of occurrences of \mathtt{u[k]} = i and \mathtt{v[k]} = j for k < n.

Parameters :

u : ndarray

An n-dimensional vector.

v : ndarray

An n-dimensional vector.

Returns :

d : double

The Matching dissimilarity between vectors u and v.
