Distance computations (scipy.spatial.distance)¶
Function Reference¶
Distance matrix computation from a collection of raw observation vectors stored in a rectangular array.
| pdist(X[, metric, p, w, V, VI]) | Pairwise distances between observations in n-dimensional space. |
| cdist(XA, XB[, metric, p, V, VI, w]) | Computes distance between each pair of the two collections of inputs. |
| squareform(X[, force, checks]) | Converts a vector-form distance vector to a square-form distance matrix, and vice-versa. |
Predicates for checking the validity of distance matrices, both condensed and redundant. Also contained in this module are functions for computing the number of observations in a distance matrix.
| is_valid_dm(D[, tol, throw, name, warning]) | Returns True if input array is a valid distance matrix. |
| is_valid_y(y[, warning, throw, name]) | Returns True if the input array is a valid condensed distance matrix. |
| num_obs_dm(d) | Returns the number of original observations that correspond to a square, redundant distance matrix. |
| num_obs_y(Y) | Returns the number of original observations that correspond to a condensed distance matrix. |
Distance functions between two vectors u and v. Computing distances over a large collection of vectors is inefficient for these functions. Use pdist for this purpose.
