get_average_sim: Find average similarity value in region

In jorgenfrost/compost: Compute Complexity Metrics

Description

In the rca matrix, each region (row) has a number of units (col) with the value 1. From these units, the function finds the average value of similarity to each unit.

Usage

get_average_sim(rca_mat, sim_mat, exclude_0s = FALSE)

Arguments

rca_mat	binary rca matrix with region rows, units in columns
sim_mat	similarity matrix with units on both dimensions.
exclude_0s	logical If TRUE, each 0 in the binary RCA matrix is converted to NAs. This means that units not present in a region does not pull the average down. That is, it is not the average value, but the average value of units presents in the region. This pulls non-diverse regions up.

Value

matrix with regions in rows, units in columns. The elements are the average similarity-value in the region to the given unit (column).
