scipy.spatial.minkowski_distance_p#

scipy.spatial.minkowski_distance_p(x, y, p=2)[source]#

Compute the pth power of the L**p distance between two arrays.

For efficiency, this function computes the L**p distance but does not extract the pth root. If p is 1 or infinity, this is equal to the actual L**p distance.

Parameters

x(M, K) array_like: Input array.
y(N, K) array_like: Input array.
pfloat, 1 <= p <= infinity: Which Minkowski p-norm to use.

Examples

>>> from scipy.spatial import minkowski_distance_p
>>> minkowski_distance_p([[0,0],[0,0]], [[1,1],[0,1]])
array([2, 1])
