Levenshtein mit R und der RecordLinkage Bibliothek

Mit RecordLinkagegibt es eine R Bibliothek, die den Levenshtein Algorithmus per DLL/SO bereitstellt. Hier ein Beispiel:

library("RecordLinkage")

# the absolute value of the Levenshtein distance
levenshteinDist("Uwe", "uwe")
# a similarity measure
# based on 1 - d(str1,str2) / max(A,B)
# with d as L. distance
# and A, B as lengths of strings
levenshteinSim("Uwe", "uwe")
