The power of the Minkowski distance. |

Numeric. A vector giving the indexes of the elements

discrepancies for triangles etc.) are prompted

Numeric. Detailed stats are prompted for those elements with a an
attributable percentage to the overall conflicts
higher than the supplied threshold

Measure of conflict or inconsistency as proposed by Bell (2004). The
identification of conflict is based on distances rather than correlations as
in other measures of conflict indexConflict1
and
indexConflict2
. It assesses if the distances between all
components of a triad, made up of one element and two constructs, satisfies
the "triangle inequality" (cf. Bell, 2004). If not, a triad is regarded as
conflictive. An advantage of the measure is that it can be interpreted not
only as a global measure for a grid but also on an element, construct, and
element by construct level making it valuable for detailed feedback. Also,
differences in conflict can be submitted to statistical testing procedures.
