Compute dissimilarity between pair of countries Calculate pairwise dissimilarities and convert the output to matrix.

Compute dissimilarity between pair of countries Calculate pairwise dissimilarities and convert the output to matrix.

Usage

compute_dissimilarity(wdi_data, index = NULL, metric = "euclidean")

Arguments

wdi_data

A data frame of the indicator data generated by get_wdi_data

index

An optional character string specifying the indicator code Defaults to NULL

metric

A character string specifying the dissimilarity metric to use Defaults to "euclidean" and uses the daisy() function which handles missing values.

Value

A matrix of pairwise dissimilarities between countries.

Examples

pm_diss_mat <- compute_dissimilarity(pm_data)
