adjustedRandIndex: Adjusted Rand Index

adjustedRandIndexR Documentation

Adjusted Rand Index

Description

Computes the adjusted Rand index comparing two classifications.

Usage

adjustedRandIndex(x, y)

Arguments

x

A numeric or character vector of class labels.

y

A numeric or character vector of class labels. The length of y should be the same as that of x.

Value

The adjusted Rand index comparing the two partitions (a scalar). This index has zero expected value in the case of random partition, and it is bounded above by 1 in the case of perfect agreement between two partitions.
