similar_number is an S3 class for numeric similarity comparisons.
similar_number(scores, summary, methods, list_names, raw_values, digits = 3)An object of class "similar_number" (which inherits from "similar") containing:
scores: List of numeric similarity scores per method and comparison
summary: Summary statistics by method and comparison
methods: Character vector of numeric comparison methods used (exact, percent, normalized, fuzzy, exp, raw)
list_names: Character vector of names for the compared numeric lists
digits: Number of digits to round results in output
raw_values: List of raw numeric values that were compared
The numeric similarity scores are normalized values between 0 and 1, where 1 indicates identical numbers and 0 indicates maximally different numbers based on the specific method used. The exception is the "raw" method, which returns the absolute difference between values.
List of similarity scores per method and comparison
Summary statistics by method and comparison
Character vector of methods used for comparison
Character vector of names for the compared lists
List of raw numeric values being compared
Number of digits to round results (default: 3)
This class extends the similar class and implements
numeric data-specific similarity comparison methods.
