Variation of Information
Description
Computes the variation of information for two classification vectors.
Usage
VarInf(id1, id2)
Arguments
id1
first partitioning vector.
id2
second partitioning vector.
Value
Returns the variation of information. It is equal to 0 if and only if two classification vectors are identical.
