skbio.stats.distance.DistanceMatrix.redundant_form

DistanceMatrix.redundant_form()

Return an array of dissimilarities in redundant format.

As this is the native format that the dissimilarities are stored in, this is simply an alias for data.

Returns:

ndarray

Notes

Redundant format is described in [1].
