hamming(drama, variant = c("Trilcke", "Hamming", "NormalizedHamming"))

scenicDifference(drama, norm = length(unique(drama$text$Speaker.figure_id)))

`drama`	The QDDrama Object
`variant`	For `hamming()`, variants are "Trilcke" (default), "NormalizedHamming", and "Hamming"
`norm`	For `scenicDifference()`, specifies the normalization constant

A QDHamming object, which is a list of values, one for each scene change. The values indicate the (potentially) normalized number of characters that are exchanged.

data(rksp.0)
dist_trilcke  <- hamming(rksp.0)
dist_hamming  <- hamming(rksp.0, variant = "Hamming")
dist_nhamming <- hamming(rksp.0, variant = "NormalizedHamming")
