skbio.embedding.embed_vec_to_distances(vectors, metric='euclidean', validate=True)[source]#

Convert EmbeddingVector objects to a DistanceMatrix object.

Parameters:

vectorsiterable of EmbeddingVector objects: An iterable of EmbeddingVector objects, or objects that subclass EmbeddingVector.
metricstr or callable, optional: The distance metric to use. Must be a valid metric for scipy.spatial.distance.pdist.
validatebool, optional: If True, validate that all vectors have the same length and are valid types.

Returns:

DistanceMatrix: A distance matrix representing pairwise distances among objects calculated by the given metric.
