Jaccard similarity

Source: R/similarities.R
jaccard.Rd

Jaccard similarity identifies the changes of ties between two matrices.

Usage

jaccard(
  A,
  B,
  directed = TRUE,
  diag = FALSE,
  coparticipation = FALSE,
  bipartite = FALSE
)

Arguments

A

Binary matrix A

B

Binary matrix B

directed

Whether the matrix is symmetric

diag

Whether the diagonal should be considered

coparticipation

Select nodes that co-participate in both matrices

bipartite

Whether the matrix is incidence

Value

The output are: jaccard = Jaccard similarity, proportion = proportion among the ties present at a given observation of ties that are also present in the other matrix, and table = a table with the tie changes between matrices.

If coparticipation = TRUE, then also: match = The number of nodes present in both matrices;

size_matrix1 = The size of the first matrix;

size_matrix2 = The size of the second matrix; coparticipation1 = The percentage of nodes in the first matrix also present in the second matrix; coparticipation2 = The percentage of nodes in the second matrix also present in the first matrix: overlap_actors = Overlap of nodes between two matrices

#' If coparticipation = TRUE and bipartite = TRUE, then also: matchM1 = The number of nodes in the first 'mode' present in both matrices; matchM2 = The number of nodes in the second 'mode' present in both matrices;

size_matrix1_M1 = The number of nodes in the first 'mode' of the first matrix;

size_matrix1_M2 = The number of nodes in the second 'mode' of the first matrix;

size_matrix2_M1 = The number of nodes in the first 'mode' of the second matrix;

size_matrix2_M2 = The number of nodes in the second 'mode' of the second matrix; coparticipation1_M2 = The percentage of nodes of the first 'mode' in the first matrix present in the second matrix. coparticipation1_M2 = The percentage of nodes of the second 'mode' in the first matrix present in the second matrix. coparticipation2_M1 = The percentage of nodes of the first 'mode' in the second matrix present in the first matrix.

coparticipation2_M2 = The percentage of nodes of the second 'mode' in the second matrix present in the first matrix. overlap_actors_M1 = Overlap between two matrices (nodes of the first 'mode') overlap_actors_M2 = Overlap between two matrices (nodes of the second 'mode')
