scipy.spatial.minkowski_distance

scipy.spatial.minkowski_distance(x, y, p=2)

Compute the L**p distance between two arrays.

Parameters:

x : (M, K) array_like

Input array.

y : (N, K) array_like

Input array.

p : float, 1 <= p <= infinity

Which Minkowski p-norm to use.

Examples

>>> from scipy.spatial import minkowski_distance
>>> minkowski_distance([[0,0],[0,0]], [[1,1],[0,1]])
array([ 1.41421356,  1.        ])
