Calculate Ground Diversity (Entropy) Curves and Peaks

Evaluates the diversity of "ground types" (combinations of active codes) across a series of sliding window sizes. It returns both the curves and the peak window values.

Usage

ena.ground.diversity(data, codeNames, conversation_cols, max_window = 20)

Arguments

data

A data.frame or data.table containing the conversation data.

codeNames

A character vector of column names representing the binary codes.

conversation_cols

A character vector of column names that define unique conversations.

max_window

An integer specifying the maximum window size to evaluate. Default is 20.

Value

A list containing three elements:

curves

A data.table containing aggregated entropy curves across windows.

peaks

A data.table highlighting the window size(s) where entropy peaked.

conversation_curves

A data.table showing calculated entropy per individual conversation per window.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
gd_results <- ena.ground.diversity(data = my_data,
                                   codeNames = c("CodeA", "CodeB"),
                                   conversation_cols = "ConversationID")
} # }
