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

Compute the L**p distance between two arrays.

The last dimensions of x and y must be the same length. Any other dimensions must be compatible for broadcasting.

Parameters:

x(…, K) array_like

Input array.

y(…, K) array_like

Input array.

pfloat, 1 <= p <= infinity

Which Minkowski p-norm to use.

Returns:

distndarray

Distance between the input arrays.

Examples

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