DistanceMatrix.
permute
(condensed=False)[source]¶Randomly permute both rows and columns in the matrix.
State: Experimental as of 0.4.0.
Randomly permutes the ordering of rows and columns in the matrix. The same permutation is applied to both rows and columns in order to maintain symmetry and hollowness. Only the rows/columns in the distance matrix are permuted; the IDs are not permuted.
condensed (bool, optional) – If True
, return the permuted distance matrix in condensed
format. Otherwise, return the permuted distance matrix as a new
DistanceMatrix
instance.
Permuted distances as a new DistanceMatrix
or as a ndarray
in condensed format.

Notes
This method does not modify the distance matrix that it is called on.
It is more efficient to pass condensed=True
than permuting the
distance matrix and then converting to condensed format.
