similar_pairs function

Similar pairs of individuals in a partition

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

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

Returns

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')
