scipy.spatial.distance.kulczynski1#

scipy.spatial.distance.kulczynski1(u, v, *, w=None)[source]#

Compute the Kulczynski 1 dissimilarity between two boolean 1-D arrays.

The Kulczynski 1 dissimilarity between two boolean 1-D arrays u and v of length n, is defined as

\[\frac{c_{11}} {c_{01} + c_{10}}\]

where \(c_{ij}\) is the number of occurrences of \(\mathtt{u[k]} = i\) and \(\mathtt{v[k]} = j\) for \(k \in {0, 1, ..., n-1}\).

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:

kulczynski1float: The Kulczynski 1 distance between vectors u and v.

Notes

This measure has a minimum value of 0 and no upper limit. It is un-defined when there are no non-matches.

Added in version 1.8.0.
