Description
The function computes the one letter congruence index according to Holland (1963).
Usage
1
con_oneletter_holland(a, b, hexadist = FALSE, letter = 1)
Arguments
a
a character vector with person Holland codes.
b
a character vector with environment Holland codes.
hexadist
logical with default set to hexadist = FALSE. If set to hexadist = TRUE the spacial distances in the hexagon are considered for the calculation of the first letter congruence.
letter
a integer indicating the position of the letter to be used.
Details
The function finds the congruence according to Holland (1963) between the Holland codes given in argument a, which is the person code, and argument b, which is the environment code. The Index is based on one letter from the Holland code, which is, according to Holland (1963) typically the first letter. But this can be changed to using any of the six letters, see argument letter. The degree of congruence is output as distance. This means, for example, that a value of '0' is the result for a perfect fit ! The function offers via the argument hexadist the extension to consider the spatial distance of the six dimensions in the hexagon for the calculation of the congruence (cf. Bowles, S. M., & Tunick, R. H. 2008).
Value
a numeric with value for congruence.
