Library: xclust
See also: conting recode kmeans agglom

Quantlet: measure
Description: computes coefficients of association between two partitions which are crossed and build up a contingency table

Usage: m = measure (h)
Input:
h k x p contingency table
Output:
m.r Rand's coefficient
m.rc Rand's coefficient corrected by chance
m.fm coefficient of Fowlkes and Mallow
m.chi Chi-square value

Example:
; load the library xclust
library("xclust")
; generate x
x = #(1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3)
; generate y
y = #(2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1)
; generate contingency table
h  = conting(x, y)
; compute measures
measure(h)
