IL_correl | R Documentation |
Measures IL_correl()
and IL_variables()
were proposed by Andrzej Mlodak and are (theoretically) bounded between 0
and 1
.
IL_correl(x, xm)
## S3 method for class 'il_correl'
print(x, digits = 3, ...)
IL_variables(x, xm)
## S3 method for class 'il_variables'
print(x, digits = 3, ...)
x |
an object coercible to a |
xm |
an object coercible to a |
digits |
number digits used for rounding when displaying results |
... |
additional parameter for print-methods; currently ignored |
IL_correl()
: is a information-loss measure that can be applied to common numerically scaled variables in x
and xm
. It is based
on diagonal entries of inverse correlation matrices in the original and perturbed data.
IL_variables()
: for common-variables in x
and xm
the individual distance-functions depend on the class of the variable;
specifically these functions are different for numeric variables, ordered-factors and character/factor variables. The individual distances
are summed up and scaled by n * m
with n
being the number of records and m
being the number of (common) variables.
Details can be found in the references below
The implementation of IL_correl()
differs slightly with the original proposition from Mlodak, A. (2020) as
the constant multiplier was changed to 1 / sqrt(2)
instead of 1/2
for better efficiency and interpretability
of the measure.
