pubdata2

Small example dataset with 2 publications.
The first publication references rather dissimilar disciplines and has uncategorized references.
Therefore, the computation of the interval of uncertainty of the Rao-Stirling index requires longer computation time.
The dataset contains the following information: A matrix of counts of referenced disciplines for each publication, a vector of counts of uncategorized references in each publication, and a matrix that contains a measure of similarity between disciplines.

A collection of functions to compute the Rao-Stirling diversity index
	(Porter and Rafols, 2009) <DOI:10.1007/s11192-008-2197-2> and its extension to
	acknowledge missing data (i.e.,	uncategorized references) by calculating its
	interval of uncertainty using	mathematical optimization as proposed in Calatrava
	et al. (2016) <DOI:10.1007/s11192-016-1842-4>.
	The Rao-Stirling diversity index is a well-established bibliometric indicator
	to measure the interdisciplinarity of scientific publications. Apart from the
	obligatory dataset of publications with their respective references and	a
	taxonomy of disciplines that categorizes references as well as a measure of
	similarity between the disciplines, the Rao-Stirling diversity index requires
	a complete categorization of all references of a publication into disciplines.
	Thus, it fails for a incomplete categorization; in this case, the robust
	extension has to be used, which encodes the uncertainty caused by missing
	bibliographic data as an uncertainty interval.
