In GrpString: String Patterns and Statistical Differences Between Two Groups of Strings

Discovers unique patterns in two groups of strings

Description

UniPatterns discovers "unique" patterns that are in one group of strings but not the other.

Usage

UniPatterns(grp1_pattern, grp2_pattern, grp1_string, grp2_string)

Arguments

grp1_pattern	Patterns shared by a certain percent of strings in string group 1.
grp2_pattern	Patterns shared by a certain percent of strings in string group 2.
grp1_string	String group 1.
grp2_string	String group 2.

Details

A (common) pattern is defined as a substring with the minimum length of three that occurs at least twice among a group of strings.

A unique pattern is a pattern that appears in only one of the two groups of strings.

Value
