compareAll,Partition,Partition-method

Compute the comparison between two partitions for all available measures.

Provides several measures ((dis)similarity, distance/metric,
correlation, entropy) for comparing two partitions of the same set of
objects. The different measures can be assigned to three different
classes: Pair comparison (containing the famous Jaccard and Rand
indices), set based, and information theory based.
Many of the implemented measures can be found in
Albatineh AN, Niewiadomska-Bugaj M and Mihalko D (2006)
<doi:10.1007/s00357-006-0017-z> and
Meila M (2007) <doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2006.11.013>.
Partitions are represented by vectors of class labels which allow a
straightforward integration with existing clustering algorithms
(e.g. kmeans()). The package is mostly based on the S4 object system.

Implements Measures for the Comparison of Two Partitions

Andreas Geyer-Schulz

compareAll function

<dl><dt>p</dt>
<dd>The partition \(P\)</dd>
<dt>q</dt>
<dd>The partition \(Q\)</dd></dl>

Arguments

<ul>
<li><code>compareAll(p = Partition, q = Partition)</code>: Compare given two <code>Partition</code> instances</li>
</ul>

Methods (by class)

This method will identify every generic S4 method that has a signature 
<code>"Partition", "Partition"</code> (including signatures with following <code>"missing"</code> 
parameters, e.g. <code>"Partition", "Partition", "missing"</code>) as a partition 
comparison measure, except this method itself (otherwise: infinite 
recursion). This means one has to take care when defining other methods with the same
signature in order not to produce unwanted side-effects!
