Some of the objects are much larger than others, and there can still be overlap between them. Therefore I'm interested in determining confidence level for their similarities and implications for sample sizes.

Here's some sample code I was playing with:

  const clj_fuzzy = require('clj-fuzzy');
  
  let a = [1,2,3,4,5,6].toString();
  let b = [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26].toString();
  
  console.log(a);
  console.log(b);
  
  console.log('dice', clj_fuzzy.metrics.dice(a, b));
  
  /*
  
  Output:
  
  1,2,3,4,5,6
  
  2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26
  
  dice 0.43478260869565216
  
  
  */

However, I'd like to be able to understand it a little better in order to communicate to others.

It seems like confidence ~= similarity but I don't have the chops to know why yet. Any pointers? Thanks!
