Distance
Hamming Distance: count of positions where two equal-length sequences differ
Hamming, R. W. · 1950
Overview
Distance (categorical, count of differing positions). Output typically distance (lower value = preferred).
Strengths
- •Method-specific: Distance (categorical, count of differing positions)
Method assistant
Grounded explanations: it explains the method, it does not compute.
Edge cases
- •See F.steps and D.parameters for DIST-HAMMING-specific edge handling. recommendation_metadata.assumptions_to_verify also lists boundary conditions.
