- Method Detail
  - getDistance
```
double getDistance()
```
    Returns score as a distance between 0.0 and 1.0. This equals (getMaxScore() - getScore()) / (getMaxScore() - getMinScore()).
    
    Returns:
    
    score as a distance between 0.0 and 1.0
  - getDistance
```
double getDistance(double scale)
```
    Returns score as a distance between 0.0 and scale. This equals scale * (getMaxScore() - getScore()) / (getMaxScore() - getMinScore()).
    
    Parameters:
    
    scale - maximum distance
    
    Returns:
    
    score as a distance between 0.0 and scale
  - getMaxScore
```
double getMaxScore()
```
    Returns maximum possible score.
    
    Returns:
    
    maximum possible score
  - getMinScore
```
double getMinScore()
```
    Returns minimum possible score.
    
    Returns:
    
    minimum possible score
  - getScore
```
double getScore()
```
    Returns score resulting from algorithm. This should normalize between 0 and 1 by calculating (getScore() - getMinScore()) / (getMaxScore() - getMinScore()).
    
    Returns:
    
    score resulting from algorithm
  - getSimilarity
```
double getSimilarity()
```
    Returns score as a similarity between 0.0 and 1.0. This equals (getScore() - getMinScore()) / (getMaxScore() - getMinScore()).
    
    Returns:
    
    score as a similarity between 0.0 and 1.0
  - getSimilarity
```
double getSimilarity(double scale)
```
    Returns score as a similarity between 0.0 and scale. This equals scale * (getScore() - getMinScore()) / (getMaxScore() - getMinScore()).
    
    Parameters:
    
    scale - maximum similarity
    
    Returns:
    
    score as a similarity between 0.0 and scale
