select_metric

Uses heuristic algorithm to suggest a stringdist metric from among hamming, lv, osa, dl, lcs, jw

Matching with string distance has never been easier! 'messy.cats' contains various functions that employ string distance tools in order to make data management easier for users working with categorical data. Categorical data, especially user inputted categorical data that often tends to be plagued by typos, can be difficult to work with.
