8.17.4.6. sklearn.metrics.pairwise.distance_metrics

sklearn.metrics.pairwise.distance_metrics()

Valid metrics for pairwise_distances

This function simply returns the valid pairwise distance metrics. It exists, however, to allow for a verbose description of the mapping for each of the valid strings.

The valid distance metrics, and the function they map to, are:

metric	Function
‘cityblock’	sklearn.pairwise.manhattan_distances
‘euclidean’	sklearn.pairwise.euclidean_distances
‘l1’	sklearn.pairwise.manhattan_distances
‘l2’	sklearn.pairwise.euclidean_distances
‘manhattan’	sklearn.pairwise.manhattan_distances
