### [![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.com/winkjs/wink-distance.svg?branch=master)](https://app.travis-ci.com/github/winkjs/wink-distance) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/winkjs/wink-distance/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/winkjs/wink-distance?branch=master) [![Gitter](https://img.shields.io/gitter/room/nwjs/nw.js.svg)](https://gitter.im/winkjs/Lobby)

[](http://wink.org.in/)

Compute distances or similarities needed for NLP, de-duplication and clustering using **`wink-distance`**. Some of the methods are listed below:

1. Cosine similarity for Bag of Words,

1. Jaccard & Tversky for Sets,

1. Jaro, Jaro-Winkler, and Levenshtien for string,

1. Chebyshev and Taxicab for vectors.

> Combine `wink-distance` with [WinkNLP](https://github.com/winkjs/wink-nlp) to build awesome NLP apps.

### Installation

Use [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/wink-distance) to install:

    npm install wink-distance --save
