Description
This function calculates the Rao-Stirling diversity index of a single publication, based on its proportions of citations to different disciplines.
Unlike the function RaoProportions, the arguments of this function are not validated.
Usage
1
RaoProportionsNoValidation(p, sim)
Arguments
p
A vector of proportions of citations to different disciplines of a single publication.
sim
A positive semi-definite matrix that encodes the similarity between disciplines, as explained in Porter and Rafols (2009).
The dimensions of this matrix are n x n, being n the total number of disciplines.
The number of rows and the number columns of this matrix need to be equal to the length of counts.
The self-similarities (i.e. the diagonal elements) have to be 1.
Value
The Rao-Stirling diversity index of a publication.
