A new version of R package gower has just been released on CRAN.
Thanks to our new contributor David Turner who was kind enough to provide a pull request, gower
now also computes weighted gower distances.
From the NEWS file:
- gower_dist and gower_topn gain
weight
argument for weighted matching (thanks to David Turner) - gower_dist and gower_topn gain
ignore_case
argument for automatic column matching. - gower_dist now returns numeric(0) invisibly when there are no columns to compare.
- gower_topn now returns a list with empty matrices when there are no columns to compare.
- gower_topn now warns when n>nrow(y) and sets n=nrow(y)
- bugfix: comparing factors with characters would cause a crash (thanks to max Kuhn)
Compute Gower's distance (or similarity) coefficient between records. Compute the top-n matches between records. Core algorithms are executed in parallel on systems supporting OpenMP.
