is an S3 class for numeric similarity comparisons.
Usage
similar_number(scores, summary, methods, list_names, raw_values, digits = 3)
Arguments
scores |
List of similarity scores per method and comparison |
summary |
Summary statistics by method and comparison |
methods |

list_names |
Character vector of names for the compared lists |

Details
This class extends the similar
class and implements
numeric data-specific similarity comparison methods.
Value
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.
