scipy.spatial.distance.sqeuclidean

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

Computes the squared Euclidean distance between two 1-D arrays.

The squared Euclidean distance between u and v is defined as

$${||u-v||}_2^2.$$

Parameters:

u : (N,) array_like

Input array.

v : (N,) array_like

Input array.

Returns:

sqeuclidean : double

The squared Euclidean distance between vectors u and v.
