similar_pairs {ERPM}

Similar pairs of individuals in a partition

Description

This function computes the total number, the average number having the close values of a numerical variable and the number of individuals a partition.

Usage

similar_pairs(partition, attribute, stat, threshold)

Arguments

partition

A partition (vector)

attribute

A vector containing the values of the attribute

stat

The statistic to compute : 'avg_pergroup' for the average, 'sum_pergroup' for the sum, 'sum_perind' and 'avg_perind' for individuals

threshold

Threshold to determine if 2 individuals attributes values are close

Value

The statisic chosen in stat

Examples

p <- c(1,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,5)
at <- c(3,5,23,2,1,0,3,9,2)
similar_pairs(p,at,1,'avg_pergroup')
