medpy.metric.histogram.cosine_1(h1, h2)[source]

Cosine simmilarity.

Turns the cosine similarity into a distance measure for normalized, positive histograms.

\[d_{\bar{\cos}}(H, H') = 1 - d_{\cos}(H, H')\]

See cosine for the definition of \(d_{\cos}(H, H')\).

Attributes:

  • metric

Attributes for normalized histograms:

  • \(d(H, H')\in[0, 1]\)
  • \(d(H, H) = 0\)
  • \(d(H, H') = d(H', H)\)

Attributes for not-normalized histograms:

  • not applicable

Attributes for not-equal histograms:

  • not applicable
Parameters:

h1 : sequence

The first histogram, normalized.

h2 : sequence

The second histogram, normalized, same bins as h1.

Returns:

cosine : float

Cosine distance.
