Given 2 alternative classifications (g groups) of rows in a data frame of vegetation data, confusion matrix, C, is derived first. Using the first classification a matrix of row centroids is derived (using function centroid
) of wich a g by g distance matrix, W, is computed (correlation transformed to distance). Cost factor, cf, is the sum of element by element multiplication of C and W respectively, cf=sum(CW).

veg |
A data frame of vegetation releves (rows) by species (columns) |
oldgr |
Initial classification, e.g., derived by hclust() |
newgr |
Final classification, e.g., result of a model |
y |
Transformation of species scores: x'= x exp(y) |
x |
An object of class "ccost" |

Further variables used for printing |
Cost factor cf has range 0 (both classifications identical) to n (number of rows), where n is the worst case of misclassification.
An output list of class "ccost" with at least the following intems:
dimension |
Dimension of confusion matrix (n by n) |
ccost |
Cost factor, cf |
old.groups |
Initial classification |
new.groups |
Final classification |
conf.matrix |
Confusion matrix |
weight.matrix |
Weigth matrix |
transf |
Transformation applied to scores, y-value |
