StabilityDistance-class: "StabilityDistance"

Description

An object returned from a call to GetStabilityDistance.

Arguments

Slots

scores:: A numeric vector of stability scores, with 0 corresponding to maximum instability and 1 to maximum stability.
noinformation:: The stability score one would expect in the no-information case, which corresponds to the random generation of two mutually independent rankings.
scheme: s. GetStabilityDistance.
measure: The distance measure used, s. GetStabilityDistance.
decay: The decay scheme used for the weights, s. GetStabilityDistance.

Methods

show: Use show(object) for brief information.
summary: Use summary(object), display = c("summary", "all"), digits = 3 for condensed output. The argument display controls whether only a five-point summary is printed (display = "summary") or whether all results are printed (display = "all"). The argument digits is used for number formatting. Note that the output additionally depends on scheme.
