dissimilarity: Dissimilarity Statistics

In trinker/qdap2: Bridging the gap between qualitative data and quantitative analysis

Description

Uses the distance function to calculate dissimilarity statistics by grouping variables.

Usage

  dissimilarity(text.var, grouping.var = NULL,
    method = "prop", diag = FALSE, upper = FALSE, p = 2)

Arguments

text.var	A text variable or word frequency matrix object.
grouping.var	The grouping variables. Default NULL generates one word list for all text. Also takes a single grouping variable or a list of 1 or more grouping variables.
method	Distance methods (see dist function). If "prop" (the default; the result is 1 - "binary".
diag	logical. If TRUE returns the diagonals of the matrix. If method = "prop" diagonals will not be returned.
upper	logical. If TRUE returns the upper triangle of the matrix.
p	The power of the Minkowski distance

Value

Returns a matrix of dissimilarity values (the agreement between text).
