weight.taxo {ape} | R Documentation

## Define Similarity Matrix

### Description

`weight.taxo` computes a matrix whose entries [i, j] are set to 1 if x[i] == x[j], 0 otherwise.

`weight.taxo2` computes a matrix whose entries [i, j] are set to 1 if x[i] == x[j] AND y[i] != y[j], 0 otherwise.

The diagonal [i, i] is always set to 0.

The returned matrix can be used as a weight matrix in `Moran.I`. `x` and `y` may be vectors of factors.

See further details in `vignette("MoranI")`.

### Usage

      weight.taxo(x)
      weight.taxo2(x, y)

### Arguments

`x, y` | a vector or a factor.

### Value

a square numeric matrix.
