compare(metric_type, a, b) View Source
Compares given strings using the corresponding string metric algorithm.
Available metric types are:
- 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

compare(metric_type, a, b, opts) View Source
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
