CBCI: The Conditional Independence Bertin Classification Index
Description
Computes the Conditional Independence Bertin Classification Index which uses conditional independence as a reference for normalization. High values indicate that the BCC is not far from the expectation if we know the two marginal 2D BBC values.
Usage
CBCI(x, r = 1, joint.order = FALSE)
Arguments
x
The 3D table with non-negative entries.
r
The index of the conditioning variable, e.g. r = 1 uses the table with variables 2 and 3 conditionally independent given 1 for normalization.
joint.order
Whether or not to use a joint ordering for all variables. Otherwise the pairwise values are computed using separate reorderings.
Value
Numeric value in [0,1].
Details
The BCI of a 3D table but instead of the total independence case the conditional independence case is used for normalization.
