# scipy.spatial.minkowski_distance_p

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

  Compute the pth power of the L**p distance between two arrays.

  For efficiency, this function computes the L**p distance but does not extract the pth root. If p is 1 or infinity, this is equal to the actual L**p distance.

  Parameters
    x(M, K) array_like

      Input array.

    y(N, K) array_like

      Input array.

    p float, 1 <= p <= infinity

      Which Minkowski p-norm to use.

  Examples

      >>> from scipy.spatial import minkowski_distance_p
      >>> minkowski_distance_p([[0,0],[0,0]], [[1,1],[0,1]])
      array([2, 1])
