@ -19,15 +19,11 @@ The available distances are:
- [Overlap Distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlap_coefficient) `Overlap(q::Int)`
- [Sorensen-Dice Distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B8rensen%E2%80%93Dice_coefficient) `SorensenDice(q::Int)`
- Distance "modifiers" that can be applied to any distance:
- [Winkler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro%E2%80%93Winkler_distance) diminishes the distance of strings with common prefixes. The Winkler adjustment was originally defined for the Jaro similarity score but this package defines it for any string distance.

- [Partial](http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/fuzzywuzzy-fuzzy-string-matching-in-python/) returns the minimum distance between the shorter string and substrings of the longer string.
- [TokenSort](http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/fuzzywuzzy-fuzzy-string-matching-in-python/) adjusts for differences in word orders by reording words alphabetically.
- [TokenSet](http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/fuzzywuzzy-fuzzy-string-matching-in-python/) adjusts for differences in word orders and word numbers by comparing the intersection of two strings with each string.
- [TokenMax](http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/fuzzywuzzy-fuzzy-string-matching-in-python/) combines scores using the base distance, the `Partial`, `TokenSort` and `TokenSet` modifiers, with penalty terms depending on string lengths.
A good distance to match strings composed of multiple words (like addresses) is `TokenMax(Levenshtein())` (see [fuzzywuzzy](http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/fuzzywuzzy-fuzzy-string-matching-in-python/)
- [TokenMax](http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/fuzzywuzzy-fuzzy-string-matching-in-python/) combines scores using the base distance, the `Partial`, `TokenSort` and `TokenSet` modifiers, with penalty terms depending on string lengths. This is a good distance to match strings composed of multiple words, like addresses. `TokenMax(Levenshtein())` corresponds to the distance defined in [fuzzywuzzy](http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/fuzzywuzzy-fuzzy-string-matching-in-python/)
