Distances and divergences between distributions implemented in python.
Project description
Distances and divergences between dictionaries implemented in python 3.6.
In the complexity notations, n is len(a) and m is len(b).
The samples are dictionaries generated by the test utilities here.
How do I get it?
Just type into your terminal:
pip install dictancesBasic example
For each metric, an example is present in the folder examples. Here’s a basic example for those too lazy to click links (like me).
import random
from dictances import cosine, euclidean, canberra
random.seed(42) # for reproducibility
# Simple function to generate the example dictionaries
def generate_example_dict(n=1000):
return {random.randint(0,1000):random.uniform(0,1000) for i in range(n)}
a, b = generate_example_dict(), generate_example_dict()
print(cosine(a,b))
# >>> 0.52336690346601
print(euclidean(a,b))
# >>> 15119.400349404095
print(canberra(a,b))
# >>> 624.9088876554047Metrics table
