Computes the distances within and between sub-groups based on the number of common attributes (how many times members of a subgroup fall in the same category) for faultline analyses (personal procedure)

Usage

faultlines_dsg(x, subgroup)

Arguments

x	dataframe. Binary variables indicating the categorical memberships of group members.
subgroup	character. Name of the variable indicating subgroup membership.

Value

A dataframe with one row per attribute specifying the contribution of each attribute to subgroups internal alignements, cross group alignement, and faultline.

Examples

library(construct)
data("fictiveteams")
# prepare the data: group the observations per team, dichotomize variables and identify subgroups
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
library(purrr)
fl <- fictiveteams %>%
   group_by(team) %>%
   nest() %>%
   mutate(data = map(data, make_discrete, ncat = 2, method = "km")) %>%
   mutate(subgp = map(data, find_subgroups, gpnbr = 2)) %>%
   unnest()
# Compute demographic differences
fl %>%
   group_by(team) %>%
   nest() %>%
   mutate(data = map(data, faultlines_dsg, subgroup = "subgroup")) %>%
   unnest()
