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:

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.

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.
