Compare stings based on shared tokens.
lev_token_set_ratio(a, b, pairwise = TRUE, useNames = TRUE, ...)
The input strings
Boolean. If TRUE
, only the pairwise distances between a
and b
will be
computed, rather than the combinations of all elements.
Boolean. Use input vectors as row and column names?
Additional arguments to be passed to stringdist::stringdistmatrix()
or
stringdist::stringsimmatrix()
.
A numeric scalar, vector or matrix depending on the length of the inputs.
Similar to lev_token_sort_ratio()
this function breaks the input down into tokens. It then
identifies any common tokens between strings and creates three new strings:
x <- {common_tokens}
y <- {common_tokens}{remaining_unique_tokens_from_string_a}
z <- {common_tokens}{remaining_unique_tokens_from_string_b}
and performs three pairwise lev_ratio()
calculations between them (x
vs y
, y
vs z
and
x
vs z
). The highest of those three ratios is returned.
x <- "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
y <- "my lazy dog was jumped over by a quick brown fox"
