Class Summary

Class	Description
EditDistance	EditDistance is an implementation of Wagner and Fischer's dynamic programming algorithm for computing string edit distance.
ExactMatchDistance	ExactMatch distance (or Hamming Distance) of a pair of non-binary strings (or more generally sequences) is the number of sequence (or string) positions where the two sequences differ.
KendallTauSequenceDistance	Kendall Tau Sequence Distance is the minimum number of adjacent swaps necessary to transform one sequence into the other.
LongestCommonSubsequenceDistance	LongestCommonSubsequenceDistance is a form of EditDistance, where the edit operations are limited to deletions and insertions (i.e., no replacements or changes), and where the cost of an edit operation is simply 1.
