Parameters
----------
alphabet : Counter, collection, int, or None
This represents the alphabet of possible tokens.
See :ref:`alphabet <alphabet>` description in
:py:class:`_TokenDistance` for details.
tokenizer : _Tokenizer
A tokenizer instance from the :py:mod:`abydos.tokenizer` package
intersection_type : str
Specifies the intersection type, and set type as a result:
See :ref:`intersection_type <intersection_type>` description in
:py:class:`_TokenDistance` for details.
**kwargs
Arbitrary keyword arguments
Other Parameters
----------------
qval : int
The length of each q-gram. Using this parameter and tokenizer=None
will cause the instance to use the QGram tokenizer with this
q value.
metric : _Distance
A string distance measure class for use in the ``soft`` and
``fuzzy`` variants.
threshold : float
A threshold value, similarities above which are counted as
members of the intersection for the ``fuzzy`` variant.
