distancePermutationLCStr: Longest Common Substring Distance for Permutations

Description

Distance of permutations. Based on the longest string of adjacent elements that two permutations have in common.

Usage

distancePermutationLCStr(x, y)

Arguments

x

first permutation (integer vector)

y

second permutation (integer vector) #'

Value

• numeric distance value $$d(x,y)$$, scaled to values between 0 and 1 (based on the maximum possible distance between two permutations)
