5.1.1 Ordinary functions

Function: jaro-distance (s1 s2) ¶

Finds the Jaro distance (measure of similarity) from string s1 to string s2. Returns a value in the range from 0 (no similarity) to 1 (exact match).

Package: vas-string-metrics.
Source: jaro-winkler.lisp.

Function: jaro-winkler-distance (s1 s2) ¶

Finds the Jaro distance (measure of similarity) from string s1 to string s2. Returns a value in the range from 0 (no similarity) to 1 (exact match).

Package: vas-string-metrics.
Source: jaro-winkler.lisp.

Function: levenshtein-distance (s1 s2 &key test key) ¶

Finds the Levenshtein distance (minimum number of edits) from string s1 to string s2.

Package: vas-string-metrics.
Source: levenshtein.lisp.

Function: normalized-levenshtein-distance (s1 s2) ¶

Finds the normalized Levenshtein distance (from 0 for no similarity to 1 for exact match) from string s1 to string s2.

Package: vas-string-metrics.
Source: levenshtein.lisp.

Function: soerensen-dice-coefficient (string1 string2) ¶
