computeEntourageScore: Computation of the Entourage Score

In tchitchek-lab/MDSRefMaps: What the Package Does in One 'Title Case' Line

Description

This function is used to compute the Entourage Score between two distance matrices, which quantifies the local quality of a MDS representation.

The Entourage Score corresponds to the normalised number of identical nearest neighbours for each object in the two distance matrices.

Usage

computeEntourageScore(dist1, dist2, k = 3)

Arguments

dist1	a numeric matrix of the first distance matrix
dist2	a numeric matrix of the second distance matrix
k	a numeric indicating the number of nearest neighbours to compare

Details

This function has been implemented in C++ for fast computations and can be executed from R using this wrapper.

Value

a numeric value of the Entourage Score
