In OPTI-SURVEIL/chinsimi: Measuring the Similarity between Chinese Strings

Description

Compute a matrix of similarity measures between strings, accounting for ambiguous characters. In situations where all combinations or permutations of a set of strings are to be compared, this implementation is more efficient than calling sim_func However, it may be less memory efficient for large inputs

Usage

sim_func_mat(s_1, s_2, method = "lv", q = 1, ...)

Arguments

s_1	A vector or matrix of characters representing one set of original strings
s_2	A vector or matrix of characters representing a second set of original strings for comparison. If missing, a lower triangular matrix comparing s_1 to itself will be returned.
method	A character input identifying the string similarity method to be used by stringsim from the 'stringdist' package
...	Other options to be passed to stringsim

Value

A matrix of similarities corresponding to the pairwise comparisons of elements of s_1 and s_2. Upper triangular when s_2 is missing.
