autoharp (version 0.0.13)

K2: Compute tree similarity

Description

Compute tree similarity

Usage

K2(t1, t2, verbose = FALSE)

Value

An integer, that counts the number of sub-trees in common between the two trees. Please see the reference papers for more information.

Arguments

t1

A TreeHarp object.

t2

A TreeHarp object.

verbose

A logical value, indicating if the output should be verbose.

Details

As far as possible, this function tries to do things recursively. It sets up a n x m matrix and fills up as much as it can. Then it uses recursive relationships to fill in the rest. When it cannot, it uses generate_all_subtrees to generate and count common subtrees.
