`scipy.spatial.distance.``chebyshev`(u, v)

  Computes the Chebyshev distance.

  Computes the Chebyshev distance between two 1-D arrays u and v, which is defined as

  \[\max_i {|u_i-v_i|}.\]

  Parameters: | u : (N,) array_like Input vector. v : (N,) array_like Input vector.
  Returns: | chebyshev : double The Chebyshev distance between vectors u and v.
