r"""AMPLE similarity.
The AMPLE similarity :cite:`Dallmeier:2005,Abreu:2007` is defined in
getAverageSequenceWeight() in the AverageSequenceWeightEvaluator.java file
of AMPLE's source code. For two sets X and Y and a population N, it is
.. math::
sim_{AMPLE}(X, Y) =
\big|\frac{|X \cap Y|}{|X|} -
\frac{|Y \setminus X|}{|N \setminus X|}\big|
In :ref:`2x2 confusion table terms <confusion_table>`, where a+b+c+d=n,
this is
.. math::
sim_{AMPLE} =
\big|\frac{a}{a+b}-\frac{c}{c+d}\big|
Notes
-----
This measure is asymmetric. The first ratio considers how similar the two
strings are, while the second considers how dissimilar the second string
is. As a result, both very similar and very dissimilar strings will score
high on this measure, provided the unique aspects are present chiefly
in the latter string.

"""Initialize AMPLE instance.
Parameters
----------
alphabet : Counter, collection, int, or None
This represents the alphabet of possible tokens.
See :ref:`alphabet <alphabet>` description in
:py:class:`_TokenDistance` for details.
tokenizer : _Tokenizer
A tokenizer instance from the :py:mod:`abydos.tokenizer` package
intersection_type : str
Specifies the intersection type, and set type as a result:
See :ref:`intersection_type <intersection_type>` description in
:py:class:`_TokenDistance` for details.
**kwargs
Arbitrary keyword arguments
Other Parameters
----------------
qval : int
The length of each q-gram. Using this parameter and tokenizer=None
will cause the instance to use the QGram tokenizer with this
q value.
metric : _Distance
A string distance measure class for use in the ``soft`` and
``fuzzy`` variants.
threshold : float
A threshold value, similarities above which are counted as
members of the intersection for the ``fuzzy`` variant.
