damerau_levenshtein_normalized_similarity: Normalized Damerau-Levenshtein Similarity

In RapidFuzz: String Similarity Computation Using 'RapidFuzz'

Normalized Damerau-Levenshtein Similarity

Description

Calculate the normalized Damerau-Levenshtein similarity between two strings.

Computes the normalized similarity based on the Damerau-Levenshtein metric, where the result is between 0.0 (completely different) and 1.0 (identical).

Usage

damerau_levenshtein_normalized_similarity(s1, s2, score_cutoff = 0)

Arguments

s1	A string. The first input string.
s2	A string. The second input string.
score_cutoff	An optional minimum threshold for the normalized similarity. Defaults to 0.0.

Value

The normalized Damerau-Levenshtein similarity as a double.

Examples

damerau_levenshtein_normalized_similarity("abcdef", "abcfde")
damerau_levenshtein_normalized_similarity("abcdef", "abcfde", score_cutoff = 0.7)
