R: Score multiple candidate strings against a single input

lev_score_multiple {levitate}

R Documentation

Score multiple candidate strings against a single input

Description

Given a single input string and multiple candidates, compute scores for each candidate.

Usage

lev_score_multiple(input, candidates, .fn = lev_ratio, ..., decreasing = TRUE)

Arguments

`input`	A single string
`candidates`	One or more candidate strings to score
`.fn`	The scoring function to use, as a string or function object. Defaults to `lev_ratio()`.
`...`	Additional arguments to pass to `.fn`.
`decreasing`	If `TRUE` (the default), the candidate with the highest score is ranked first. If using a comparison `.fn` that computes distance rather than similarity, or if you want the worst match to be returned first, set this to `FALSE`.

Value

A list where the keys are candidates and the values are the scores. The list is sorted according to the decreasing parameter, so by default higher scores are first.

Examples

lev_score_multiple("bilbo", c("frodo", "gandalf", "legolas"))
