Gordon-Vichi Macroeconomic Consensus Partition Data

Description

The soft (“fuzzy”) consensus partitions for the macroeconomic partition data given in Gordon and Vichi (2001).

Usage

data("Macro_Consensus")

Format

A named cluster ensemble of four soft partitions of 21 countries terms into two classes.

Details

The elements of the ensemble are named "MF1", "MF2", "JMF", and "S&S", and correspond to the median partitions obtained by applying models 1, 2, and 3 in Gordon and Vichi (2001) and the approach in Sato and Sato (1994) to the macroeconomic partition data in Gordon and Vichi (2001), which are available as data set Macro.
