distance: *distance*

In Oviing/Test2: Analysing of confirmed meteroites, which landed on earth

Description

The distance function computes the string distances between the classes column of the meteroitesData data frame and pre defined meteroite types. For measuring the distance between to strings the Jaro-Winker distance is used. A value of 1 means there is no similarity between two strings. Vice versa a value of 0 means the similarity between two strings is 100

The function itself creates four variable

classMeteroites contains the general classes of different types of meteroites. vectorClass is a vector containing charackters, sliced out of the meteroitesData file. distanceMatrix a matrix ccrated by the stringdistmatrix function distanceMatrixDF a data frame created from the distanceMatrix variable

Usage
