      @Deprecated(forRemoval=true) @SubjectToRemoval(date=JUL_01_2025) public double Tanimoto()
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
      Calculates tanimoto.
      Returns:
      the tanimoto coefficient
    • getTanimoto

      public static double getTanimoto(byte[] bitstring1, byte[] bitstring2)
      Calculates the Tanimoto coefficient of the two bit strings. The calculated value is between 0 and 1. The higher the value the more similar are the bit strings. All bits in the byte arrays are used. The length of the byte arrays has to be equal.
      Parameters:
      bitstring1 - left operand
      bitstring2 - right operand
      Returns:
      the tanimoto coefficient
    • getTanimoto

      public static double getTanimoto(byte[] bitstring1, byte[] bitstring2, int bytesToCompare)
      Calculates the Tanimoto coefficient of the two bit strings. The calculated value is between 0 and 1. The higher the value the more similar are the bit strings.
      Parameters:
      bitstring1 - left operand
      bitstring2 - right operand
      bytesToCompare - the number of bytes to use in the calculcation.
      Returns:
      the tanimoto coefficient
      Since:
