+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Perform molecular similarity search [ Ref 94-113 ] using fingerprint bit-vector or vector strings
+data in I<SD, FP, or CSV/TSV text> files corresponding to I<ReferenceFingerprintsFile> and
+I<DatabaseFingerprintsFile>, and generate SD and CSV/TSV text file(s) containing database
+molecules which are similar to reference molecule(s). The reference molecules are also referred
+to as query or seed molecules and database molecules as target molecules in the literature.
+
+The current release of MayaChemTools supports two types of similarity search modes:
+I<IndividualReference or MultipleReferences>. For default value of I<MultipleReferences> for B<-m, --mode>
+option, reference molecules are considered as a set and B<-g, --GroupFusionRule> is used to calculate
+similarity of a database molecule against reference molecules set. The group fusion rule is also
+referred to as data fusion of consensus scoring in the literature. However, for I<IndividualReference>
+value of B<-m, --mode> option, reference molecules are treated as individual molecules and each reference
+molecule is compared against a database molecule by itself to identify similar molecules.
+
+The molecular dissimilarity search can also be performed using I<DissimilaritySearch> value for
+B<-s, --SearchMode> option. During dissimilarity search or usage of distance comparison coefficient
+in similarity similarity search, the meaning of fingerprints comparison value is automatically reversed
+as shown below:
+
+    SeachMode      ComparisonCoefficient  ResultsSort   ComparisonValues
+
+    Similarity     SimilarityCoefficient  Descending    Higher value imples
+                                                        high similarity
+    Similarity     DistanceCoefficient    Ascending     Lower value implies
+                                                        high similarity
+
+    Dissimilarity  SimilarityCoefficient  Ascending     Lower value implies
+                                                        high dissimilarity
+    Dissimilarity  DistanceCoefficient    Descending    Higher value implies
+                                                        high dissimilarity
+
+During I<IndividualReference> value of  B<-m, --Mode> option for similarity search, fingerprints bit-vector
+or vector string of each reference molecule is compared with database molecules using specified
+similarity or distance coefficients to identify most similar molecules for each reference molecule.
+Based on value of B<--SimilarCountMode>, up to B<--n, --NumOfSimilarMolecules> or B<-p,
+--PercentSimilarMolecules> at specified B<--SimilarityCutoff> or B<--DistanceCutoff> are
+identified for each reference molecule.
+
+During I<MultipleReferences> value B<-m, --mode> option for similarity search, all reference molecules
+are considered as a set and B<-g, --GroupFusionRule> is used to calculate similarity of a database
+molecule against reference molecules set either using all reference molecules or number of k-nearest
+neighbors (k-NN) to a database molecule specified using B<-k, --kNN>. The fingerprints bit-vector
+or vector string of each reference molecule in a set is compared with a database molecule using
+a similarity or distance coefficient specified via B<-b, --BitVectorComparisonMode> or B<-v,
+--VectorComparisonMode>. The reference molecules whose comparison values with a database
+molecule fall outside specified B<--SimilarityCutoff> or B<--DistanceCutoff> are ignored during I<Yes>
+value of B<--GroupFusionApplyCutoff>. The specified B<-g, --GroupFusionRule> is applied to
+B<-k, --kNN> reference molecules to calculate final similarity value between a database molecule
+and reference molecules set.
+
+The input fingerprints I<SD, FP, or Text (CSV/TSV)> files for I<ReferenceFingerprintsFile> and
+I<DatabaseTextFile> must contain valid fingerprint bit-vector or vector strings data corresponding to
+same type of fingerprints.
+
+The valid fingerprints I<SDFile> extensions are I<.sdf> and I<.sd>. The valid fingerprints I<FPFile>
+extensions are I<.fpf> and I<.fp>. The valid fingerprints I<TextFile (CSV/TSV)> extensions are
+I<.csv> and I<.tsv> for comma/semicolon and tab delimited text files respectively. The B<--indelim>
+option determines the format of I<TextFile>. Any file which doesn't correspond to the format indicated
+by B<--indelim> option is ignored.

+
+The current release supports the following similarity coefficients: I<BaroniUrbaniSimilarity, BuserSimilarity,
+CosineSimilarity, DiceSimilarity, DennisSimilarity, ForbesSimilarity, FossumSimilarity, HamannSimilarity, JacardSimilarity,
+Kulczynski1Similarity, Kulczynski2Similarity, MatchingSimilarity, McConnaugheySimilarity, OchiaiSimilarity,

+SkoalSneath2Similarity, SkoalSneath3Similarity, TanimotoSimilarity, TverskySimilarity, YuleSimilarity,
+WeightedTanimotoSimilarity, WeightedTverskySimilarity>. These similarity coefficients are described below.
+
+For two fingerprint bit-vectors A and B of same size, let:
+
+    Na = Number of bits set to "1" in A
+    Nb = Number of bits set to "1" in B
+    Nc = Number of bits set to "1" in both A and B
+    Nd = Number of bits set to "0" in both A and B
+
+    Nt = Number of bits set to "1" or "0" in A or B (Size of A or B)
+    Nt = Na + Nb - Nc + Nd
+
+    Na - Nc = Number of bits set to "1" in A but not in B
+    Nb - Nc = Number of bits set to "1" in B but not in A
+
+Then, various similarity coefficients [ Ref. 40 - 42 ] for a pair of bit-vectors A and B are
+defined as follows:
+
+I<BaroniUrbaniSimilarity>: ( SQRT( Nc * Nd ) + Nc ) / (  SQRT ( Nc * Nd ) + Nc + ( Na - Nc )  + ( Nb - Nc ) ) ( same as Buser )
+
+I<BuserSimilarity>: ( SQRT ( Nc * Nd ) + Nc ) / (  SQRT ( Nc * Nd ) + Nc + ( Na - Nc )  + ( Nb - Nc ) ) ( same as BaroniUrbani )
+
+I<CosineSimilarity>: Nc / SQRT ( Na * Nb ) (same as Ochiai)
+
+I<DiceSimilarity>: (2 * Nc) / ( Na + Nb )
+
+I<DennisSimilarity>: ( Nc * Nd - ( ( Na - Nc ) * ( Nb - Nc ) ) ) / SQRT ( Nt * Na * Nb)
+
+I<ForbesSimilarity>: ( Nt * Nc ) / ( Na * Nb )
+
+I<FossumSimilarity>: ( Nt * ( ( Nc - 1/2 ) ** 2 ) / ( Na * Nb )
+
+I<HamannSimilarity>: ( ( Nc + Nd ) - ( Na - Nc ) - ( Nb - Nc ) ) / Nt
+
+I<JaccardSimilarity>: Nc /  ( ( Na - Nc) + ( Nb - Nc ) + Nc ) = Nc / ( Na + Nb - Nc ) (same as Tanimoto)
+
+I<Kulczynski1Similarity>: Nc / ( ( Na - Nc ) + ( Nb - Nc) ) = Nc / ( Na + Nb - 2Nc )
+
+I<Kulczynski2Similarity>: ( ( Nc / 2 ) * ( 2 * Nc + ( Na - Nc ) + ( Nb - Nc) ) ) / ( ( Nc + ( Na - Nc ) ) * ( Nc + ( Nb - Nc ) ) ) = 0.5 * ( Nc / Na + Nc / Nb )
+
+I<MatchingSimilarity>: ( Nc + Nd ) / Nt
+
+I<McConnaugheySimilarity>: ( Nc ** 2 - ( Na - Nc ) * ( Nb - Nc) ) / (  Na * Nb )
+
+I<OchiaiSimilarity>: Nc / SQRT ( Na * Nb ) (same as Cosine)
+
+I<PearsonSimilarity>: ( ( Nc * Nd ) - ( ( Na - Nc ) * ( Nb - Nc ) ) / SQRT ( Na * Nb * (  Na - Nc + Nd ) * ( Nb - Nc + Nd ) )
+
+I<RogersTanimotoSimilarity>: ( Nc + Nd ) / ( ( Na - Nc)  + ( Nb  - Nc) + Nt) = ( Nc + Nd ) / ( Na  + Nb  - 2Nc + Nt)
+
+I<RussellRaoSimilarity>: Nc / Nt
+
+I<SimpsonSimilarity>: Nc / MIN ( Na, Nb)
+
+I<SkoalSneath1Similarity>: Nc / ( Nc + 2 * ( Na - Nc)  + 2 * ( Nb - Nc) ) = Nc / ( 2 * Na + 2 * Nb - 3 * Nc )
+
+I<SkoalSneath2Similarity>: ( 2 * Nc + 2 * Nd ) / ( Nc + Nd + Nt )
+
+I<SkoalSneath3Similarity>: ( Nc + Nd ) / ( ( Na - Nc ) + ( Nb - Nc ) ) = ( Nc + Nd ) / ( Na + Nb - 2 * Nc  )
+
+I<TanimotoSimilarity>: Nc /  ( ( Na - Nc) + ( Nb - Nc ) + Nc ) = Nc / ( Na + Nb - Nc ) (same as Jaccard)
+
+I<TverskySimilarity>: Nc / ( alpha * ( Na - Nc ) + ( 1 - alpha) * ( Nb - Nc) + Nc ) = Nc / ( alpha * ( Na - Nb )  + Nb)
+
+I<YuleSimilarity>: ( ( Nc * Nd ) - ( ( Na - Nc ) * ( Nb - Nc ) ) ) / ( ( Nc * Nd ) + ( ( Na - Nc ) * ( Nb - Nc ) )  )
+
+Values of Tanimoto/Jaccard and Tversky coefficients are dependent on only those bit which
+are set to "1" in both A and B. In order to take into account all bit positions, modified versions
+of Tanimoto [ Ref. 42 ] and Tversky [  Ref. 43 ] have been developed.
+
+Let:
+
+    Na' = Number of bits set to "0" in A
+    Nb' = Number of bits set to "0" in B
+    Nc' = Number of bits set to "0" in both A and B
+
+Tanimoto': Nc' /  ( ( Na' - Nc') + ( Nb' - Nc' ) + Nc' ) = Nc' / ( Na' + Nb' - Nc' )
+
+Tversky': Nc' / ( alpha * ( Na' - Nc' ) + ( 1 - alpha) * ( Nb' - Nc' ) + Nc' ) = Nc' / ( alpha * ( Na' - Nb' )  + Nb')
+
+Then:
+
+I<WeightedTanimotoSimilarity> = beta * Tanimoto + (1 - beta) * Tanimoto'
+
+I<WeightedTverskySimilarity> = beta * Tversky + (1 - beta) * Tversky'
+
+=item B<--DatabaseColMode> I<ColNum | ColLabel>
+
+Specify how columns are identified in database fingerprints I<TextFile>: using column
+number or column label. Possible values: I<ColNum or ColLabel>. Default value: I<ColNum>.
+
+=item B<--DatabaseCompoundIDCol> I<col number | col name>
+
+This value is B<--DatabaseColMode> mode specific. It specifies column to use for retrieving compound
+ID from database fingerprints I<TextFile> during similarity and dissimilarity search for output SD and
+CSV/TSV text files. Possible values: I<col number or col label>. Default value: I<first column containing
+the word compoundID in its column label or sequentially generated IDs>.
+
+This is only used for I<CompoundID> value of B<--DatabaseDataColsMode> option.
+
+=item B<--DatabaseCompoundIDPrefix> I<text>
+
+Specify compound ID prefix to use during sequential generation of compound IDs for database fingerprints
+I<SDFile> and I<TextFile>. Default value: I<Cmpd>. The default value generates compound IDs which look
+like Cmpd<Number>.
+
+For database fingerprints I<SDFile>, this value is only used during I<LabelPrefix | MolNameOrLabelPrefix>
+values of B<--DatabaseCompoundIDMode> option; otherwise, it's ignored.
+
+Examples for I<LabelPrefix> or I<MolNameOrLabelPrefix> value of B<--DatabaseCompoundIDMode>:
+
+    Compound
+
+The values specified above generates compound IDs which correspond to Compound<Number>
+instead of default value of Cmpd<Number>.
+
+=item B<--DatabaseCompoundIDField> I<DataFieldName>
+
+Specify database fingerprints I<SDFile> datafield label for generating compound IDs. This value is
+only used during I<DataField> value of B<--DatabaseCompoundIDMode> option.
+
+Examples for I<DataField> value of B<--DatabaseCompoundIDMode>:
+
+    MolID
+    ExtReg
+
+=item B<--DatabaseCompoundIDMode> I<DataField | MolName | LabelPrefix | MolNameOrLabelPrefix>
+
+Specify how to generate compound IDs from database fingerprints I<SDFile> during similarity and
+dissimilarity search for output SD and CSV/TSV text files: use a I<SDFile> datafield value; use
+molname line from I<SDFile>; generate a sequential ID with specific prefix; use combination of both
+MolName and LabelPrefix with usage of LabelPrefix values for empty molname lines.
+
+Possible values: I<DataField | MolName | LabelPrefix | MolNameOrLabelPrefix>.
+Default: I<LabelPrefix>.
+
+For I<MolNameAndLabelPrefix> value of B<--DatabaseCompoundIDMode>, molname line in I<SDFile> takes
+precedence over sequential compound IDs generated using I<LabelPrefix> and only empty molname
+values are replaced with sequential compound IDs.
+
+This is only used for I<CompoundID> value of B<--DatabaseDataFieldsMode> option.
+
+=item B<--DatabaseDataCols> I<"DataColNum1,DataColNum2,... " | DataColLabel1,DataCoLabel2,... ">
+
+This value is B<--DatabaseColMode> mode specific. It is a comma delimited list of database fingerprints
+I<TextFile> data column numbers or labels to extract and write to SD and CSV/TSV text files along with
+other information for I<SD | text | both> values of B<--output> option.
+
+This is only used for I<Specify> value of B<--DatabaseDataColsMode> option.
+
+Examples:
+
+    1,2,3
+    CompoundName,MolWt
+
+=item B<--DatabaseDataColsMode> I<All | Specify | CompoundID>
+
+Specify how data columns from database fingerprints I<TextFile> are transferred to output SD and
+CSV/TSV text files along with other information for I<SD | text | both> values of B<--output> option:
+transfer all data columns; extract specified data columns; generate a compound ID database compound
+prefix. Possible values: I<All | Specify | CompoundID>. Default value: I<CompoundID>.
+
+=item B<--DatabaseDataFields> I<"FieldLabel1,FieldLabel2,... ">
+
+Comma delimited list of database fingerprints I<SDFile> data fields to extract and write to SD
+and CSV/TSV text files along with other information for I<SD | text | both> values of
+B<--output> option.
+
+This is only used for I<Specify> value of B<--DatabaseDataFieldsMode> option.

+string data values. Possible values: I<Any valid number>. Default value: I<10>.
+
+The comparison value between a pair of database and reference molecule must meet the cutoff
+criterion as shown below:
+
+    SeachMode      CutoffCriterion  ComparisonValues
+
+    Similarity     <=               Lower value implies high similarity
+    Dissimilarity  >=               Higher value implies high dissimilarity
+
+This option is only used during distance coefficients values of B<-v, --VectorComparisonMode>

+a database molecule against a set of reference molecules during I<MultipleReferences> value of
+similarity search B<-m, --mode>. Possible values: I<Max, Min, Mean, Median, Sum, Euclidean>. Default
+value: I<Max>. I<Mean> value corresponds to average or arithmetic mean. The group fusion rule is
+also referred to as data fusion of consensus scoring in the literature.
+
+For a reference molecules set and a database molecule, let:
+
+    N = Number of reference molecules in a set
+
+    i = ith reference reference molecule in a set
+    n = Nth reference reference molecule in a set
+
+    d = dth database molecule
+
+    Crd = Fingerprints comparison value between rth reference and dth database
+          molecule - similarity/dissimilarity comparison using similarity or
+          distance coefficient
+
+Then, various group fusion rules to calculate fused similarity between a database molecule and
+reference molecules set are defined as follows:
+
+B<Max>: MAX ( C1d, C2d, ..., Cid, ..., Cnd )
+
+B<Min>: MIN ( C1d, C2d, ..., Cid, ..., Cnd )
+
+B<Mean>: SUM ( C1d, C2d, ..., Cid, ..., Cnd ) / N
+
+B<Median>: MEDIAN (  C1d, C2d, ..., Cid, ..., Cnd )
+
+B<Sum>: SUM (  C1d, C2d, ..., Cid, ..., Cnd )
+
+B<Euclidean>: SQRT( SUM( C1d ** 2, C2d ** 2, ..., Cid ** 2, ..., Cnd *** 2) )
+
+The fingerprints bit-vector or vector string of each reference molecule in a set is compared
+with a database molecule using a similarity or distance coefficient specified via B<-b,
+--BitVectorComparisonMode> or B<-v, --VectorComparisonMode>. The reference molecules
+whose comparison values with a database molecule fall outside specified B<--SimilarityCutoff>
+or B<--DistanceCutoff> are ignored during I<Yes> value of B<--GroupFusionApplyCutoff>. The
+specified B<-g, --GroupFusionRule> is applied to B<-k, --kNN> reference molecules to calculate
+final fused similarity value between a database molecule and reference molecules set.
+
+During dissimilarity search or usage of distance comparison coefficient in similarity search,
+the meaning of fingerprints comaprison value is automatically reversed as shown below:
+
+    SeachMode      ComparisonCoefficient  ComparisonValues
+
+    Similarity     SimilarityCoefficient  Higher value imples high similarity
+    Similarity     DistanceCoefficient    Lower value implies high similarity
+
+    Dissimilarity  SimilarityCoefficient  Lower value implies high
+                                          dissimilarity
+    Dissimilarity  DistanceCoefficient    Higher value implies high
+                                          dissimilarity
+
+Consequently, I<Max> implies highest and lowest comparison value for usage of similarity and
+distance coefficient respectively during similarity search. And it corresponds to lowest and highest
+comparison value for usage of similarity and distance coefficient respectively during dissimilarity
+search. During I<Min> fusion rule, the highest and lowest comparison values are appropriately
+reversed.

+--PercentSimilarMolecules> at specified <--SimilarityCutoff> or B<--DistanceCutoff> are
+identified for each reference molecule.
+
+During I<MultipleReferences> value B<-m, --mode> for similarity search, all reference molecules

+molecule against reference molecules set either using all reference molecules or number of k-nearest
+neighbors (k-NN) to a database molecule specified using B<-k, --kNN>. The fingerprints bit-vector
+or vector string of each reference molecule in a set is compared with a database molecule using
+a similarity or distance coefficient specified via B<-b, --BitVectorComparisonMode> or B<-v,
+--VectorComparisonMode>. The reference molecules whose comparison values with a database
+molecule fall outside specified B<--SimilarityCutoff> or B<--DistanceCutoff> are ignored. The
+specified B<-g, --GroupFusionRule> is applied to rest of B<-k, --kNN> reference molecules to calculate
+final similarity value between a database molecule and reference molecules set.
+

+
+The value of B<-v, --VectorComparisonMode>, in conjunction with B<--VectorComparisonFormulism>,

+
+The current releases supports the following similarity and distance coefficients: I<CosineSimilarity,
+CzekanowskiSimilarity, DiceSimilarity, OchiaiSimilarity, JaccardSimilarity, SorensonSimilarity, TanimotoSimilarity,
+CityBlockDistance, EuclideanDistance, HammingDistance, ManhattanDistance, SoergelDistance>. These
+similarity and distance coefficients are described below.
+
+B<FingerprintsVector.pm> module, used to calculate similarity and distance coefficients,
+provides support to perform comparison between vectors containing three different types of
+values:
+
+Type I: OrderedNumericalValues
+
+    . Size of two vectors are same
+    . Vectors contain real values in a specific order. For example: MACCS keys
+      count, Topological pharmnacophore atom pairs and so on.
+
+Type II: UnorderedNumericalValues
+
+    . Size of two vectors might not be same
+    . Vectors contain unordered real value identified by value IDs. For example:
+      Toplogical atom pairs, Topological atom torsions and so on
+
+Type III: AlphaNumericalValues
+
+    . Size of two vectors might not be same
+    . Vectors contain unordered alphanumerical values. For example: Extended
+      connectivity fingerprints, atom neighborhood fingerprints.
+
+Before performing similarity or distance calculations between vectors containing UnorderedNumericalValues
+or AlphaNumericalValues, the vectors are transformed into vectors containing unique OrderedNumericalValues
+using value IDs for UnorderedNumericalValues and values itself for AlphaNumericalValues.
+
+Three forms of similarity and distance calculation between two vectors, specified using B<--VectorComparisonFormulism>
+option, are supported: I<AlgebraicForm, BinaryForm or SetTheoreticForm>.
+
+For I<BinaryForm>, the ordered list of processed final vector values containing the value or
+count of each unique value type is simply converted into a binary vector containing 1s and 0s
+corresponding to presence or absence of values before calculating similarity or distance between
+two vectors.
+
+For two fingerprint vectors A and B of same size containing OrderedNumericalValues, let:
+
+    N = Number values in A or B
+
+    Xa = Values of vector A
+    Xb = Values of vector B
+
+    Xai = Value of ith element in A
+    Xbi = Value of ith element in B
+
+   SUM = Sum of i over N values
+
+For SetTheoreticForm of calculation between two vectors, let:
+
+    SetIntersectionXaXb = SUM ( MIN ( Xai, Xbi ) )
+    SetDifferenceXaXb = SUM ( Xai ) + SUM ( Xbi ) - SUM ( MIN ( Xai, Xbi ) )
+
+For BinaryForm of calculation between two vectors, let:
+
+    Na = Number of bits set to "1" in A = SUM ( Xai )
+    Nb = Number of bits set to "1" in B = SUM ( Xbi )
+    Nc = Number of bits set to "1" in both A and B = SUM ( Xai * Xbi )
+    Nd = Number of bits set to "0" in both A and B
+       = SUM ( 1 - Xai - Xbi + Xai * Xbi)
+
+    N = Number of bits set to "1" or "0" in A or B = Size of A or B = Na + Nb - Nc + Nd
+
+Additionally, for BinaryForm various values also correspond to:
+
+    Na = | Xa |
+    Nb = | Xb |
+    Nc = | SetIntersectionXaXb |
+    Nd = N - | SetDifferenceXaXb |
+
+    | SetDifferenceXaXb | = N - Nd = Na + Nb - Nc + Nd - Nd = Na + Nb - Nc
+                          =  | Xa | + | Xb | - | SetIntersectionXaXb |
