# pysal.lib.cg.distance_matrix¶

pysal.lib.cg.distance_matrix(X, p=2.0, threshold=50000000.0)[source]

Distance Matrices

XXX Needs optimization/integration with other weights in pysal

Parameters: X : An, n by k numpy.ndarray Where n is number of observations k is number of dimmensions (2 for x,y) p : float Minkowski p-norm distance metric parameter: 1<=p<=infinity 2: Euclidean distance 1: Manhattan distance threshold : positive integer If (n**2)*32 > threshold use scipy.spatial.distance_matrix instead of working in ram, this is roughly the ammount of ram (in bytes) that will be used.

Examples

>>> x,y=[r.flatten() for r in np.indices((3,3))]
>>> data = np.array([x,y]).T
>>> d=distance_matrix(data)
>>> np.array(d)
