concordance: Compute Concordance Matrix

Description

concordance calculates the concordance matrix between two partitions of the same data.

Usage

concordance(part1, part2)

Value

A 2x2 matrix of the form :

      |  P1   |  P2   |
  ____________________
   P1 |  Nyy  |  Nyn  |
   P2 |  Nny  |  Nnn  |
  ____________________

where

• Nyy is the number of points belonging to the same cluster both in part1 and part2

• Nyn is the number of points belonging to the same cluster in part1 but not in part2

• Nny is the number of points belonging to the same cluster in part2 but not in part1

• Nnn is the number of points not belonging to the same cluster both in part1 and part2

Arguments

part1

[vector] : the first partition vector.

part2

[vector] : the second partition vector.
