I have a case where I have a description of requirements (profiles) and a number of cases (testcases) that I would like to match to the profiles. I have identified the function agrep, which seems to do some of the work. At least it figures out what is related to each other. However, I would like to match each case to just one profile. I was wondering whether there is somewhere a score hidden that can be used to match each case to just one profile. This will indicate how good the match is.
In the example below you will notice that England can be matched to two of the profiles. I would like to understand whether something can be done to make a trade-off.
profiles <- c("neural-Network","England","General Motors","United Kingdom")
testcases <- c("A feed-forward neural network is fitted with lagged values of x as inputs and a single hidden layer with size nodes. The inputs are for lags 1 to p, and lags m to mP where m=frequency(x).
