Fast Levenshtein Distance (and Jaro Winkler) in R for numeric vectors

1.2k Views Asked by At

Is there a packagein R that contain Levenshtein Distance counting function that compute the distance for numeric vectors? All I have found are strings based. Also I am looking for a Jaro-Winkler package that do the same, but the Levenshtein distance is more essensial.
