# scipy.spatial.minkowski_distance

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

  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.

    p float, 1 <= p <= infinity

      Which Minkowski p-norm to use.

  Returns:
    dist ndarray

      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.        ])
