Factor similarity comparison class
Description
similar_factor
is an S3 class for categorical/factor similarity comparisons.
Usage
similar_factor(scores, summary, methods, list_names, levels, digits = 3)
Arguments
scores |
List of similarity scores per method and comparison |
summary |
Summary statistics by method and comparison |
methods |
Character vector of methods used for comparison |
list_names |
Character vector of names for the compared lists |
levels |
Character vector of factor levels |
digits |
Number of digits to round results (default: 3) |
Details
This class extends the similar
class and implements
categorical data-specific similarity comparison methods.
Value
An object of class "similar_factor" (which inherits from "similar") containing:
scores: List of factor similarity scores per method and comparison
summary: Summary statistics by method and comparison
methods: Character vector of factor comparison methods used (exact, order)
list_names: Character vector of names for the compared factor lists
digits: Number of digits to round results in output
levels: Character vector of factor levels used in the comparison
The factor similarity scores are normalized values between 0 and 1, where 1 indicates identical factors and 0 indicates completely different factors based on the specific method used.
