@spec compare(atom(), String.t(), String.t()) :: number()

Compares given strings using the corresponding string metric algorithm.

Available metric types are:

• Damerau-Levenshtein distance: :damerau_levenshtein
• Sorensen Dice coefficient: :dice_sorensen
• Hamming distance: :hamming
• Jaccard Similarity coefficient: :jaccard
• Jaro distance: :jaro
• Jaro Winkler distance: :jaro_winkler
• Levenshtein distance: :levenshtein
• n Gram similarity: :n_gram
• Overlap coefficient: :overlap
• Tanimoto coefficient: :tanimoto
• Weighted Levenshtein distance: :weighted_levenshtein

Note: Some of these metrics will use default values for other parameters they might need like n gram size in case of Jaccard

Compares given strings using the corresponding string metric algorithm with given opts

opts can be n gram size in case of Dice Sorensen, Jaccard, N Gram similarity and can be weights in case of Weighted Levenshtein

Available metric types are:

• Sorensen Dice coefficient: :dice_sorensen
• Jaccard Similarity coefficient: :jaccard
• n Gram similarity: :n_gram
• Tversky index: :tversky
• Weighted Levenshtein distance: :weighted_levenshtein
