Detailed Description

Functor class for calculating the Euclidean Similarity [GSIM] of bitsets.

Member Function Documentation

operator()()

double CDPL::Descr::EuclideanSimilarity::operator() ( const Util::BitSet &  bs1, const Util::BitSet &  bs2  ) const

inline

Calculates the Euclidean Similarity [GSIM] of the bitsets bs1 and bs2.

The Euclidean Similarity \( S_{ab} \) is calculated by:

\[ S_{ab} = \sqrt{\frac{N_{ab} + N_{!ab}}{N_a + N_b + N_{ab} + N_{!ab}}} \]

where \( N_{ab} \) is the number of bits that are set in both bitsets, \( N_a \) is the number of bits that are set only in the first bitset, \( N_b \) is the number of bits that are set only in the second bitset and \( N_{!ab} \) is the number of bits that are not set in both bitsets.

If the specified bitsets bs1 and bs2 are of different size, missing bits at the end of the smaller bitset are assumed to be zero.

Parameters

bs1	The first bitset.
bs2	The second bitset.

Returns

The calculated similarity measure.
