scipy.spatial.distance.russellrao

scipy.spatial.distance.russellrao(u, v, w=None)

Compute the Russell-Rao dissimilarity between two boolean 1-D arrays.

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

\[\frac{n - c_{TT}} {n}\]

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

Parameters:

u(N,) array_like, bool

Input array.

v(N,) array_like, bool

Input array.

w(N,) array_like, optional

The weights for each value in u and v. Default is None, which gives each value a weight of 1.0

Returns:

russellraodouble

The Russell-Rao dissimilarity between vectors u and v.

Examples

>>> from scipy.spatial import distance
>>> distance.russellrao([1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0])
1.0
>>> distance.russellrao([1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0])
0.6666666666666666
>>> distance.russellrao([1, 0, 0], [2, 0, 0])
