occurenceIndex: Occurence (or inverse occurence) index for categorical data

In jagterberg/catDist: Categorical Dissimilarity Measures for Clustering

Description

This function calculates the dissimilarity index based on the (inverse) occurence index

Usage

occurenceIndex(dat, key = NULL, weights, simm = FALSE,
  inverse = TRUE)

Arguments

dat	the data
key	a character representing the unique key name for observations. For example, this could contain the name of patients in a health dataset.
weights	a character variable representing the name of the variable associated with the survey weights
simm	logical indicating whether a similarity should be returned
inverse	parameter indicating whether to return the inverse occurence frequency or the occurence frequency

Details

This calculates the pairwise dissimilarities for a dataset using the (inverse) occurence dissimilarity index

Value

A matrix of pairwise dissimilarities
