[docs]class Anderberg(_TokenDistance): r"""Anderberg's D. For two sets X and Y and a population N, Anderberg's D :cite:`Anderberg:1973` is .. math:: t_1 = max(|X \cap Y|, |X \setminus Y|)+ max(|Y \setminus X|, |(N \setminus X) \setminus Y|)+\\ max(|X \cap Y|, |Y \setminus X|)+ max(|X \setminus Y|, |(N \setminus X) \setminus Y|)\\ \\ t_2 = max(|Y|, |N \setminus Y|)+max(|X|, |N \setminus X|)\\ \\ sim_{Anderberg}(X, Y) = \frac{t_1-t_2}{2|N|} In :ref:`2x2 confusion table terms <confusion_table>`, where a+b+c+d=n, this is .. math:: sim_{Anderberg} = \frac{(max(a,b)+max(c,d)+max(a,c)+max(b,d))- (max(a+b,b+d)+max(a+b,c+d))}{2n} Notes ----- There are various references to another "Anderberg similarity", :math:`sim_{Anderberg} = \frac{8a}{8a+b+c}`, but I cannot substantiate the claim that this appears in :cite:`Anderberg:1973`. In any case, if you want to use this measure, you may instatiate :py:class:`WeightedJaccard` with `weight=8`. Anderberg states that "[t]his quantity is the actual reduction in the error probability (also the actual increase in the correct prediction) as a consequence of using predictor information" :cite:`Anderberg:1973`. It ranges [0, 0.5] so a ``sim`` method ranging [0, 1] is provided in addition to ``sim_score``, which gives the value D itself. It is difficult to term this measure a similarity score. Identical strings often fail to gain high scores. Also, strings that would otherwise be considered quite similar often earn lower scores than those that are less similar. .. versionadded:: 0.4.0 """ def __init__( self, alphabet=None, tokenizer=None, intersection_type='crisp', **kwargs ): """Initialize Anderberg instance.
