Arguments

BF

vector of Bayes Factors

group

crime group

method

the type of linkage for comparing a crime to a set of crimes

• averageuses the average bayes factor
• singleuses the largest bayes factor (most similar)
• completeuses the smallest ba

Value

• If details = FALSE: a data.frame of the Bayes Factor scores ordered (highest to lowest).
