NAME

Bag::Similarity::Jaccard - Jaccard similarity for bags

SYNOPSIS

use Bag::Similarity::Jaccard;

# object method
my $jaccard = Bag::Similarity::Jaccard->new;
my $similarity = $jaccard->similarity('Photographer','Fotograf');

DESCRIPTION

Jaccard similarity

$dice / (2 - $dice)

or

( A intersect B ) / (A union B)

METHODS

Bag::Similarity::Jaccard inherits all methods from Bag::Similarity and implements the following new ones.

from_bags

 my $similarity = $object->from_bags(['a'],['b']);

This method expects two arrayrefs of strings as parameters. The parameters are not checked, thus can lead to funny results or uncatched divisions by zero.

If you want to use this method directly, you should catch the situation where one of the arrayrefs is empty (similarity is 0), or both are empty (similarity is 1).
