RandIndexTest: Rand Index Test

In perfectphyloR: Reconstruct Perfect Phylogenies from DNA Sequence Data

Description

This function performs Rand index test for association between two phylo objects.

Usage

RandIndexTest(dend1, dend2, k = 2, nperm)

Arguments

dend1	An object of type phylo.
dend2	A second object of type phylo.
k	An integer that specifies the number of clusters that the dendrogram should be cut into. The default is k = 2. Clusters are defined by starting from the root of the dendrogram and cutting across.
nperm	The number of times to permute tips of the dend2.

Value

A numeric value between 0 and 1 and permutation P value.

Examples

data(ex_hapMat_data)
d1 <- reconstructPP(ex_hapMat_data, focalSNV = 1, minWindow = 1)
d2 <- reconstructPP(ex_hapMat_data, focalSNV = 5, minWindow = 1)
RandIndexTest(dend1 = d1,  dend2 = d2, k = 5, nperm = 100)
