Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native
|
||
|
|
'match' function. Can calculate various string distances based on
|
||
|
|
edits (Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Levenshtein, optimal sting
|
||
|
|
alignment), qgrams (q- gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic
|
||
|
|
metrics (Jaro, Jaro-Winkler). An implementation of soundex is provided
|
||
|
|
as well. Distances can be computed between character vectors while
|
||
|
|
taking proper care of encoding or between integer vectors representing
|
||
|
|
generic sequences. This package is built for speed and runs in
|
||
|
|
parallel by using 'openMP'. An API for C or C++ is exposed as well.
