Reorder an object to match a target as closely as possible

Source: R/permutations.R

Rearranges columns within a matrix until the closest permutation to the target is found.

permutate_binary_matrix(current, target)

Arguments

current

Present matrix object.
target

Desired matrix object.

Value

A permutated_matrix object that contains:

  • permutate_matrix: The current matrix permutated to match the target

  • permutate_order: The permutation order applied to the columns of current.

  • permutate_mean: The mean difference between the permutation current and target. Bound between 0 and 1 with a mean value close to 1 indicating an exact permutation between current and target is possible.

  • permutate_target: Reference object used for permutation.
