reg_index: Compute regularity index

In TImA97/randfindR: Analysis of Randomness in Human Generated Sequences

Compute regularity index

Description

Compute regularity index

Usage

reg_index(x, options)

Arguments

x	vector of distinct options of numbers or characters
options	number of available options in sequence

Details

This function takes a vector x as a sequence and the number of possible options and computes the regularity of the given sequence. The score ranges from 0 and 1. A score of 0 (which is barely ever obtained) indicates no regularity, whereas a score of 1 indicates maximum regularity (always the same option in the sequence). The regularity index is obtained by identifying the the maximum regularity occurring in the sequence.

Value

regularity index of x
