adj.rand.index: Adjusted Rand Index

Description

This function calculates the adjusted Rand index between two clusterings/partitions.

Usage

adj.rand.index(c1, c2)

Arguments

c1

A vector containing cluster labels for a clustering/partition.

c2

A vector containing cluster labels for a clustering/partition.

Value

A numeric vector of length one representing the adjusted Rand index between the two clusterings/partitions.

Details

The adj.rand.index function takes as its input two clusterings/partitions in cluster label notation and computes the adjusted Rand index. The adjusted Rand index is at most 1.0 and large numbers indicate high similarity.
