For two clusterings of the same data set, this function calculates the Jaccard similarity coefficient of the clusterings from the comemberships of the observations. Basically, the comembership is defined as the pairs of observations that are clustered together.

labels1 |
a vector of |
labels2 |
a vector of |
To calculate the Jaccard coefficient, we compute the 2x2 contingency table, consisting of the following four cells:
the number of observation pairs where both observations are comembers in both clusterings
the number of observation pairs where the observations are comembers in the first clustering but not the second
the number of observation pairs where the observations are comembers in the second clustering but not the first
the number of observation pairs where neither pair are comembers in either clustering
The Jaccard similarity coefficient is defined as:
J = \frac{n_{11}}{n_{11} + n_{10} + n_{01}}.
In the special case that the Jaccard coefficient results in 0/0, we define J = 0. For instance, this case can occur when both clusterings consist of all singleton clusters.
To compute the contingency table, we use the comembership_table
function.
