Compare True and Shuffled Distinct Elements per List Item

Description

This function compares the true number of distinct elements per list item in a list of sequences to the number of distinct elements per list item in shuffled sequences. The comparison is done by calculating p-values from shuffled sequences.

Usage

compare_distinct_elements_per_list_item(sequences, iterations = 100)

Arguments

sequences	A list of character vectors, where each vector contains sequences of elements separated by spaces.
iterations	An integer specifying the number of shuffling iterations.

Value

A data frame with columns:

true_distinct_elements	The number of distinct elements per list item in the original sequences.
shuffled_distinct_elements	The average number of distinct elements per list item in shuffled sequences.
p_value	The p-value representing the proportion of shuffled sequences where the number of distinct elements is less than or equal to the true number.

Examples

sequences <- c('hello world', 'hello world hello', 'hello world hello world', 'hello world')
compare_distinct_elements_per_list_item(sequences, iterations = 100)
