In cmahalanobis: Calculate Distance Measures for DataFrames

Generate a Microsoft Word document about the Minkowski dissimilarities/distances matrix or matrices (two or more) and the p-values matrix or matrices (two or more).

Description

This function takes a dataframe, a factor or factors (two or more) and returns a Microsoft Word document about the Minkowski dissimilarities/distances matrix or matrices (two or more) and the p-values matrix or matrices (two or more).

Usage

generate_report_cminkowski(
  dataset,
  formula,
  p = 3,
  pvalue.method = "permutation",
  seed = NULL,
  min_group_size = 3
)

Arguments

dataset	A dataframe.
formula	A variable or variables (two or more) with factors which you want to calculate the Minkowski dissimilarities/distances matrix or matrices (two or more) and the p_values matrix or matrices (two or more).
p	Order of the Minkowski dissimilarities/distances. The default value is 3.
pvalue.method	A p_value method used to calculate the matrix or matrices (two or more), the default value is "permutation". Another method is "bootstrap".
seed	Optionally, set a seed for "bootstrap" and "permutation".
min_group_size	Minimum group size to maintain. The default value is 3, therefore groups, inside variables, with less than 3 observations will be discarded.

Details

When p < 1, the Minkowski distance is a "dissimilarity" measure. When p >= 1, the triangle inequality property is satisfied and we say "Minkowski distance".

Value

A Microsoft Word document about the Minkowski dissimilarities/distances matrix or matrices (two or more) and the p_values matrix or matrices (two or more).

Examples

# Example with iris dataset
data(iris)

# Generate a report about "Species" factor in iris dataset
generate_report_cminkowski(iris, ~Species, p = 3, 
pvalue.method = "permutation")

# Example with mtcars dataset
data(mtcars)

# Generate a report about "am" factor in mtcars dataset
generate_report_cminkowski(mtcars, ~am, 
p = 3, pvalue.method = 'permutation', seed = 234)
