# scipy.spatial.distance.wminkowski

`scipy.spatial.distance.``wminkowski`(u, v, p, w)

  Computes the weighted Minkowski distance between two 1-D arrays.

  The weighted Minkowski distance between u and v, defined as

  \[\left(\sum{(w_i |u_i - v_i|^p)}\right)^{1/p}.\]

  Parameters: | u : (N,) array_like Input array. v : (N,) array_like Input array. p : int The order of the norm of the difference \({||u-v||}_p\). w : (N,) array_like The weight vector.
  Returns: | wminkowski : double The weighted Minkowski distance between vectors u and v.
