scipy.spatial.distance.rogerstanimoto

scipy.spatial.distance.rogerstanimoto(u, v)

Computes the Rogers-Tanimoto dissimilarity between two boolean 1-D arrays.

The Rogers-Tanimoto dissimilarity between two boolean 1-D arrays u and v, is defined as

$$\frac{R} {c_{TT} + c_{FF} + R}$$

where $c_{ij}$ is the number of occurrences of $\mathtt{u[k]} = i$ and $\mathtt{v[k]} = j$ for $k < n$ and $R = 2(c_{TF} + c_{FT})$.

Parameters:

u : (N,) array_like, bool

Input array.

v : (N,) array_like, bool

Input array.

Returns:

rogerstanimoto : double

The Rogers-Tanimoto dissimilarity between vectors u and v.
