scipy condensed distance matrix code example

Example 1: python matrix condensed to square

def square_to_condensed(i, j, n):
    assert i != j, "no diagonal elements in condensed matrix"
    if i < j:
        i, j = j, i
    return n*j - j*(j+1)//2 + i - 1 - j

Example 2: python matrix condensed to square

>>> square_to_condensed(1, 2, len(points))
3
>>> dist_condensed[3]
4.4721359549995796
>>> dist[1,2]
4.4721359549995796
