Dear R helpers,
I have a data frame
> summary(emPat)
pairE subj pattern
far-near : 18 sub1 : 37 urb :123
long-short : 18 sub2 : 37 bpb : 72
supported-unsupported: 18 sub3 : 37 prp : 67
large-small : 18 sub4 : 37 brb : 64
dense-sparse : 18 sub5 : 37 unp : 62
divergent-convergent : 18 sub6 : 37 pnp : 44
(Other) :558 (Other):444 (Other):234
> dim(emPat)
[1] 666 3
I have 37 types of pairE. 18 subjects placed each of the 37 pairEsinto
one of 24 patterns (18 x 37 = 666). I would like to compute a matrix
of profile similarities between the pairE. I was thinking of using
mutual information as a measure of profile similarity.
Questions:
(1) Is there a tool to compute this matrix easily. If not what tools
are there that I might adapt to this purpose?
(2) Can anyone recommend alternative ways of computing such profile
similarities?
