NAME
Set::Similarity::BV::Dice - Dice coefficent for sets
SYNOPSIS
use Set::Similarity::BV::Dice;
my $dice = Set::Similarity::BV::Dice->new;
my $similarity = $dice->similarity('af09ff','9c09cc');
DESCRIPTION
Dice coefficient
The Dice coefficient is the number of elements in common to both sets relative to the average size of the total number of elements present, i.e.
( A intersect B ) / 0.5 ( A + B ) # the same as sorensen
The weighting factor comes from the 0.5 in the denominator. The range is 0 to 1.
METHODS
Set::Similarity::BV::Dice inherits all methods from Set::Similarity::BV and implements the following new ones.
from_integers
my $similarity = $object->from_integers($AoI1,$AoI2);
This method expects two array references of integers as parameters. The parameters are not checked, thus can lead to funny results or uncatched divisions by zero.
If you want to use this method directly, you should catch the situation where one of the parameters is empty (similarity is 0), or both are empty (similarity is 1).
