R_NX {coRanking}R Documentation

The R_{NX}(K) criterion

Description

A curve indicating the improvement of the embedding over a random embedding for the neighborhood size K. Values range from 0, for a random embedding, to 1 for a perfect embedding.

Usage

R_NX(Q)

Arguments

Q

a co-ranking matrix

Details

R_{NX}(K) is calculated as follows:

Q_{NX}(K) = \sum_{1\leq k\leq K}\sum_{1\leq l\leq K} \frac{q_{kl}}{KN}

Counts the upper left K-by-K block of Q, i.e. it considers the preserved ranks on the diagonal and the permutations within a neighborhood.

R_{NX}(K) = \frac{(N-1)Q_{NX}(K)-K}{N-1-K}

A resulting vale of 0 corresponds to a random embedding, a value of 1 to a perfect embedding of the K-ary neighborhood.

Value

A vector with the values for R_NX(K)
