Formula for calculating spectral similarity and total score

Hi all,

We are interested in how exactly the spectral similarity and the total score is calculated in MSDial. In particular, It would be nice to have the exact calculation path (step-by-step including the values used) for the examples in the FAQ document
(MSDIAL FAQMat-vs2/ page 20 and 21; Link: prime.psc.riken.jp/compms/msdial/download/mathematics/MS-DIAL%20FAQ-vs2.pdf)
It is also unclear to us how the two formulas shown for "dot product" and "reverse dot product" on pages 20 and 21 are related. Do they calculate the same values?

Thank you very much for your help!
With kind regards
