Arguments

a
a: R object (target); will be converted by 'as.character'.
b
b: R object (source); will be converted by 'as.character'. Must be the same as argument a in this version of the software.
method
Method for distance calculation - only option 'h' for hamming distance is supported.
filename
Results will be stored here as binary data
weight
Not used in the hamming distance measure.
maxDist
Not used in the hamming distance measure.
ncores
Not used by SPRINT, please see the SPRINT user guide.

Details

Calculates the hamming distance between each pair of strings. Returns an ff result matrix.

N.B. Please see the SPRINT User Guide for how to run the code in parallel using the mpiexec command.
