# 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.

New in version 1.8.0.
