method : {‘sca’,’lexstat’,’edit-dist’,’turchin’} (default=’sca’)
Select the method that shall be used for the calculation.
cluster_method : {‘upgma’,’single’,’complete’} (default=’upgma’)
Select the cluster method. ‘upgma’ (Sokal1958 refers to
average linkage clustering.
threshold : float (default=0.6)
Select the threshold for the cluster approach. If set to c{False},
an automatic threshold will be calculated by calculating the
average distance of unrelated sequences (use with care).
scale : float (default=0.5)
Select the scale for the gap extension penalty.
factor : float (default=0.3)
Select the factor for extra scores for identical prosodic segments.
restricted_chars : str (default=”T_”)
Select the restricted chars (boundary markers) in the prosodic
strings in order to enable secondary alignment.
mode : {‘global’,’local’,’overlap’,’dialign’} (default=’overlap’)
Select the mode for the alignment analysis.
verbose : bool (default=False)
Define whether verbose output should be used or not.
gop : int (default=-2)
If ‘sca’ is selected as a method, define the gap opening penalty.
restriction : {‘cv’} (default=””)
Specify the restriction for calculations using the edit-distance.
Currently, only “cv” is supported. If edit-dist is selected as
method and restriction is set to cv, consonant-vowel matches
will be prohibited in the calculations and the edit distance will
be normalized by the length of the alignment rather than the length
of the longest sequence, as described in Heeringa2006.
