Calculate the local continuity meta-criterion from a co-ranking matrix.

Usage

LCMC(Q, K = 1:nrow(Q))

Arguments

Q

a co-ranking matrix

K

vector of integers describing neighborhood size

Value

A number, the local continuity meta-criterion

Details

The local continuity meta-criterion (Chen and Buja, 2006) is defined as $$ LCMC = \frac{K}{1-N} + \frac{1}{NK} \sum_{(k,l)\in U L_K} q_{kl} $$ Higher values mean a better performance of the dimensionality reduction.
