NAME

Set::Similarity::BV::Cosine - Cosine similarity for sets

SYNOPSIS

use Set::Similarity::BV::Cosine;

my $cosine = Set::Similarity::BV::Cosine->new;
my $similarity = $cosine->similarity('af09ff','9c09cc');

DESCRIPTION

Cosine similarity

A intersection B / (sqrt(A) * sqrt(B))

METHODS

Set::Similarity::BV::Cosine 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).
