groups: Identify groups of persons with identical competence...

In mpia: Meaningful Purposive Interaction Analysis

Description

This method uses the agglomerative clustering provided by agnes to find those sets of persons that occupy a competence position in close vicinity to each other. The proximity thereby has to be above the domain's identity threshold to be clustered together.

Set identityThreshold to relax (or raise) the threshold above which identity is assumed.

Usage

groups(x, ...)

Arguments

x	a HumanResourceManager.
...	additional parameters to be passed on to findGroups.

Value

References to freshly created Person objects holding the group cluster centroids.
