    The methods available to create fingerprints vector from strings and to
    calculate similarity and distance coefficients between two vectors can
    also be invoked as class functions.

    FingerprintsVector class provides support to perform comparison between
    vectors containing three different types of values:

    Type I: OrderedNumericalValues

        o Size of two vectors are same
        o Vectors contain real values in a specific order. For example: MACCS keys
          count, Topological pharmacophore atom pairs and so on.

    Type II: UnorderedNumericalValues

        o Size of two vectors might not be same
        o Vectors contain unordered real value identified by value IDs. For example:
          Topological atom pairs, Topological atom torsions and so on

    Type III: AlphaNumericalValues

        o Size of two vectors might not be same
        o 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 CalculationMode option, are supported: *AlgebraicForm,
    BinaryForm or SetTheoreticForm*.

    For *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 |
