Given a character vector, calculate the distance for each element
to the nearest neighbor amongst all the other elements.
Usage
calcNearestStringDist(x, metric = "hamming", nThreads = 1L)
Arguments
- x
A character vector.
- metric
A character scalar defining the string distance metric. One
of "hamming" (default), "hamming_shift" or
"levenshtein".
- nThreads
numeric(1), number of threads to use for parallel processing.
Value
An integer vector of the same length as x.
Examples
calcNearestStringDist(c("lazy", "hazy", "crazy"))
#> [1] 1 1 4
calcNearestStringDist(c("lazy", "hazy", "crazy"), metric = "hamming_shift")
#> [1] 1 1 3
calcNearestStringDist(c("lazy", "hazy", "crazy"), metric = "levenshtein")
#> [1] 1 1 2
