refinr | merge similar char values : an R implementation | Development Tools library

refinr is a C++ library typically used in Utilities, Development Tools applications. refinr has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

[CRAN_Status_Badge] refinr is designed to cluster and merge similar values within a character vector. It features two functions that are implementations of clustering algorithms from the open source software [OpenRefine] The cluster methods used are key collision and ngram fingerprint (more info on these [here] In addition, there are a few add-on features included, to make the clustering/merging functions more useful. These include approximate string matching to allow for merging despite minor mispellings, the option to pass a dictionary vector to dictate edit values, and the option to pass a vector of strings to ignore during the clustering process.
