Hi listers If you don't know what is the Edit Distance beetwen two strings, I will try to explain, in fact it is very simple to understund but not to calculate througth a program. It is simplilly the minimum number of operations you must perform to transform string A on string B, by operations I mean delete letters, insert letters or substitute letter.
If you need to do few operations, it means string A is almost the same as string B. Otherwise they are more differente as the number of operations increase. If you have a idea of how to make a function to calculate this distance, it would be very important for me. Thanks very much, Marcos ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
