Struct hpo::similarity::CachedSimilarity

pub struct CachedSimilarity<T> { /* private fields */ }

Caches the Similarity score for each HpoTerm pair

Use this struct to wrap your Similarity method if you are running many batch comparisons where it’s highly likely that several comparisons will be repeatedly run. This is very useful when you’re e.g. comparing the set of a patient with every disease or gene.

Note

This struct cannot be used in multithreaded processing
