In summary, "Corresponding character matching probability" is a statistical measure used to determine the similarity between two strings of characters. It is calculated by comparing the characters in the strings and determining the percentage of matching characters using various algorithms. This measure has a wide range of applications, but it also has limitations, such as accuracy for different string lengths and languages and lack of consideration for context. Ongoing efforts are being made to improve its accuracy and effectiveness through the development of advanced algorithms and incorporation of machine learning techniques.

I have a dataset of protein, consisting of 10000 sequence each, having length Si
, where 1<=i<=10000. Now, I extracted k-mer "a" from the 1st sequence. The probability of occurrence of amino acid (character of protein sequence) is given by its frequency in the dataset. If I choose k-mer "b" from other sequence, what will be the probability that k-mer "b" matches k-mer "a" at least in r position out of k position?

I believe that would be the probability that k-mer a appears in the remaining 9999 sequences. Without numerical data we can't give an exact value.
 

FAQ: Corresponding character matching probability
