R: Gordon-Vichi Macroeconomic Consensus Partition Data

GVME_Consensus {clue} | R Documentation

## Gordon-Vichi Macroeconomic Consensus Partition Data

### Description

The soft (“fuzzy”) consensus partitions for the macroeconomic partition data given in Gordon and Vichi (2001).

### Usage

    data("GVME_Consensus")

### Format

A named cluster ensemble of eight soft partitions of 21 countries terms into two or three classes.

### Details

The elements of the ensemble are consensus partitions for the macroeconomic partition data in Gordon and Vichi (2001), which are available as data set `GVME`. Element names are of the form `"m/k"`, where m indicates the consensus method employed (one of MF1, MF2, JMF, and S&S, corresponding to the application of models 1, 2, and 3 in Gordon and Vichi (2001) and the approach in Sato and Sato (1994), respectively), and k denotes the number classes (2 or 3).

### Examples

    ## Load the consensus partitions.
    data("GVME_Consensus")
    ## Pick the partitions into 2 classes.
    GVME_Consensus_2 <- GVME_Consensus[1 : 4]
    ## Fuzziness using the Partition Coefficient.
    cl_fuzziness(GVME_Consensus_2)
    ## (Corresponds to 1 - F in the source.)
