# 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.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2528823?seq=1)
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](https://sourceforge.net/projects/gower-distance-4python/files/).
# Examples
## Installation
```
pip install gower
```
## Generate some data
```python
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
```python
gower.gower_matrix(X)
```

gower.gower_topn(Xd.iloc[0:2,:], Xd.iloc[:,], n = 5)
