scipy.spatial.distance.wminkowski(u, v, p, w)[source]¶

Computes the weighted Minkowski distance between two 1-D arrays.

The weighted Minkowski distance between u and v, defined as

$\left(\sum{(w_i |u_i - v_i|^p)}\right)^{1/p}.$

Parameters :

u : (N,) array_like

Input array.

v : (N,) array_like

Input array.

p : int

The order of the norm of the difference ${||u-v||}_p$ .

w : (N,) array_like

The weight vector.

Returns :

wminkowski : double

The weighted Minkowski distance between vectors u and v.
