partition.crit: Combines the results of appplying an index to each group of observations

Description

Applies the function gfun to each group of x and y values and combines the results using the function cfun

Usage

partition.crit(x, y, groups, gfun = gave, cfun = sum, ...)

Value

The result of applying cfun.

Arguments

x

is a numeric vector.

y

is a numeric vector.

groups

is a vector of group memberships.

gfun

is applied to the x and y data in each group.

cfun

combines the values returned by gfun.

...

arguements are passed to gfun.

Examples

x <- runif(20)
y <- runif(20)
g <- rep(c("a","b"),10)

partition.crit(x,y,g)

# pairs with high m are near the diagonal. Panels shown
# in pink have the highest amount of group homogeneity, as measured by 
# gave.
