fuzz_: Calculate similarity between two strings

Description

These functions duplicate the approach of the 'fuzzywuzzy' Python library for calculating string similarity.

Usage

fuzzdist(
  a,
  b,
  method = c("fuzz_m_ratio", "fuzz_partial_ratio", "fuzz_token_sort_ratio",
    "fuzz_token_set_ratio")
)
fuzz_m_ratio(a, b)
fuzz_partial_ratio(a, b)
fuzz_token_sort_ratio(a, b)
fuzz_token_set_ratio(a, b)

Arguments

a

A character vector of items to match to b.

b

A character vector of items to match to a.

method

The method to use for fuzzy matching.

Value

Returns a score of same length as b, giving the proportional dissimilarity between a and b.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
fuzzdist("On the Origin of Species",
         "Of the Original Specs",
         method = "fuzz_m_ratio")
# }
