calculateXI: Compute the cross rank coefficient xi on two vectors.

In XICOR: Association Measurement Through Cross Rank Increments

Compute the cross rank coefficient xi on two vectors.

Description

This function computes the xi coefficient between two vectors x and y.

Usage

calculateXI(xvec, yvec, simple = TRUE)

Arguments

xvec	Vector of numeric values in the first coordinate.
yvec	Vector of numeric values in the second coordinate.
simple	Whether auxiliary information is kept to pass on.

Value

In the case simple = TRUE, function returns the value of the xi coefficient, If simple = FALSE is chosen, the function returns a list:

xi

The xi coefficient

fr

rearranged rank of yvec

CU

mean(gr*(1-gr))

Note

Auxiliary function with no checks for NA, etc.
