##### calculates difference metrics at the category level from a square contingency table

calculates quantity, exchange and shift components of difference, as well as the overall difference, at the category level from a contingency table derived from the crosstabulation between a comparison variable (or variable at time t), and a reference variable (or variable at time t+1).

Quantity difference is defined as the amount of difference between the reference variable and a comparison variable that is due to the less than maximum match in the proportions of the categories. Exchange consists of a transition from category i to category j in some observations and a transition from category j to category i in an identical number of other observations. Shift refers to the difference remaining after subtracting quantity difference and exchange from the overall difference.

##### Usage
diffTablej(ctmatrix, digits = 0, analysis = "error")
##### Arguments
ctmatrix

matrix representing a square contingency table between a comparison variable (rows) and a reference variable (columns)

digits

integer indicating the number of decimal places to be used

analysis

character string either "error" (default) or "change". The output table shows category-level omission error, agreement and comission error in the "error" analysis, and category-level gain, persistence and loss in the "change" analysis

##### Value

data.frame containing difference metrics at the category level between a comparison variable (rows) and a reference variable (columns). Output values are given in the same units as ctmatrix
