Introduction

Gower's distance calculation in Python. Gower Distance is a distance measure that can be used to calculate distance between two entity whose attribute has a mixed of categorical and numerical values. Gower (1971) A general coefficient of similarity and some of its properties. Biometrics 27 857–874.

More details and examples can be found on my personal website here:(https://www.thinkdatascience.com/post/2019-12-16-introducing-python-package-gower/)

Core functions are wrote by Marcelo Beckmann.

Examples

Installation

pip install gower

Generate some data

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import gower

Xd=pd.DataFrame({'age':[21,21,19, 30,21,21,19,30,None],
'gender':['M','M','N','M','F','F','F','F',None],
'civil_status':['MARRIED','SINGLE','SINGLE','SINGLE','MARRIED','SINGLE','WIDOW','DIVORCED',None],
'salary':[3000.0,1200.0 ,32000.0,1800.0 ,2900.0 ,1100.0 ,10000.0,1500.0,None],
'has_children':[1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,None],
'available_credit':[2200,100,22000,1100,2000,100,6000,2200,None]})
Yd = Xd.iloc[1:3,:]
X = np.asarray(Xd)
Y = np.asarray(Yd)

Find the distance matrix

gower.gower_matrix(X)
