scipy.spatial.distance.minkowski¶
- scipy.spatial.distance.minkowski(u, v, p)[source]¶
Computes the Minkowski distance between two 1-D arrays.
The Minkowski distance between 1-D arrays u and v, is defined as
\[{||u-v||}_p = (\sum{|u_i - v_i|^p})^{1/p}.\]Parameters: u : (N,) array_like
Input array.
v : (N,) array_like
Input array.
p : int
The order of the norm of the difference \({||u-v||}_p\).
Returns: d : double
The Minkowski distance between vectors u and v.
