pof: Percentage of Overlapping Features

In cdeterman/OmicsMarkeR: Classification and Feature Selection for 'Omics' Datasets

Description

Calculates percent of overlapping features between two vectors of features. In brief, the closer to 1 the more similar the vectors. The two vectors may have an arbitrary cardinality (i.e. don't need same length).

Usage

pof(x, y)

Arguments

x	Character vector of feature names
y	Character vector of feature names

Value

Returns the percent of overlapping features for the two vectors. It takes values in [0,1], with 0 meaning no overlap between two sets and 1 meaning two sets are identical.
