title: 'fingerprint: Functions to Operate on Binary Fingerprint Data'
version: 3.5.10
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.fingerprint
abstract: Functions to manipulate binary fingerprints of arbitrary length. A fingerprint
  is represented by an object of S4 class 'fingerprint' which is internally represented
  a vector of integers, such that each element represents the position in the fingerprint
  that is set to 1. The bitwise logical functions in R are overridden so that they
  can be used directly with 'fingerprint' objects. A number of distance metrics are
  also available (many contributed by Michael Fadock). Fingerprints can be converted
  to Euclidean vectors (i.e., points on the unit hypersphere) and can also be folded
  using OR. Arbitrary fingerprint formats can be handled via line handlers. Currently
  handlers are provided for CDK, MOE and BCI fingerprint data.
