Calculate the cue validity.

Description

Calculate the cue validity for a pair of vectors. It is calculated as correct / (correct + incorrect).

Usage

cueValidity(criterion, cue, replaceNanWith = 0.5)

Arguments

criterion	A vector of values to be predicted.
cue	A vector of values to predict with. Should have the same length as the criterion.
replaceNanWith	The value to return as cue validity in case it cannot be calculated, e.g. no variance in the values.

Value

The cue validity, a value in the range [0,1].

Examples

cueValidity(c(5,1), c(1,0))
# Returns 1.
cueValidity(c(5,2,1), c(1,0,0))
# Also returns 1
cueValidity(c(5,2,1), c(0,0,1))
# Returns 0.
cueValidity(c(5,2,1), c(1,0,1))
# Returns 0.5.
