Overview

About

Maintained by Sean Downey6 releasesCRAN page ↗

Functions are provided to calculate the 'ALINE' Distance between words as per (Kondrak 2000) and (Downey, Hallmark, Cox, Norquest, & Lansing, 2008, doi:10.1080/09296170802326681). The score is based on phonetic features represented using the Unicode-compliant International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Parameterized features weights are used to determine the optimal alignment and functions are provided to estimate optimum values using a genetic algorithm and supervised learning. See (Downey, Sun, and Norquest 2017, https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-005/index.html.

Install

R (source archive)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/alineR/alineR_1.1.4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "alineR_1.1.4.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.1.4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install

sudo zypper install -y R-alineR
