greedy function

Greedy one-to-one matching of pairs

greedy(x, y, weight, n = 1L, m = 1L, include_ties = FALSE)

Arguments

• x: id's of lhs of pairs; converted to integer
• y: id's of rhs of pairs; converted to integer
• weight: numeric vector with weight of pair
• n: an integer. Each element of x can be linked to at most n elements of y.
• m: an integer. Each element of y can be linked to at most m elements of x.
• include_ties: when pairs for a given record have an equal weight, should all pairs be included.

Returns

A logical vector with the same length as x.

Details

Pairs with the highest weight are selected as long a neither the lhs as the rhs are already selected in a pair with a higher weight. When include_ties

is TRUE all pairs are included when multiple pairs for a given record have an equal weight.
