R | Inexact joining (fuzzyjoin package)

It is sometimes necessary to join tables together without using an exact match—for example, if the values of columns in two tables are close but not exactly the same. For these cases, the fuzzyjoin package [1] comes in handy.

It is also possible to use this package to perform inexact matching between individual vectors, by converting the vectors into single-column tables.
