Daylight v4.9
Release Date: 1 February 2008

Name

dt_fp_tanimoto - compute the tanimoto coefficient of two fingerprints

Generic Prototype

dt_fp_tanimoto(dt_Handle, dt_Handle) => dt_Real

C Prototype

#include "dt_finger.h"

dt_Real dt_fp_tanimoto(dt_Handle fp1, dt_Handle fp2)

FORTRAN Prototype

include 'dt_f_finger.inc'

real*4 dt_f_fp_tanimoto(fp1, fp2)

integer*4 fp1
integer*4 fp2

Description

Calculates the tanimoto coefficient between the fingerprints. The calculation is not performed if the fingerprints are not compatible (different sizes) or if the objects are not fingerprints.

See the Daylight Theory Manual, the chapter on Fingerprints, for an explanation of the Tanimoto coefficient.

Return Value

Returns the tanimoto coefficient between two fingerprints. The tanimoto coefficient between all other incompatible objects is defined as -1.0.
