som_dreval

[sig,cm,truex,truey] = som_dreval(sR,D,sigmea,inds1,inds2,andor)

 SOM_DREVAL Evaluate the significance of the given descriptive rule.

 [sig,Cm,truex,truey] = som_dreval(cR,D,sigmea,[inds1],[inds2],[andor]) 
 
  sR      (struct) a rule struct, or an array of rule structs
  D       (matrix) the data, of size [dlen x nr]
  sigmea  (string) significance measure ('accuracy','accuracyI','mutuconf'), 
                   see definitions below
  [inds1] (vector) indeces belonging to the group
                   (by default: the whole data set) 
  [inds2] (vector) indeces belonging to the contrast group
                   (by default: the rest of the data set)
  [andor] (string) 'and' or 'or': which conjunction operator to use
                   to join the rules for each variable

  sig     (scalar) significance of the rule
  cm      (vector) length 4, vectorized confusion matrix ([a,c,b,d]: see below)
  truex   (vector) binary vector indicating for each item in the 
                   group whether it was true or not
  truey   (vector) binary vector indicating for each item in the 
                   contrast group whether it was true or not

 Descriptive rule significance is measured as the match between the 
 given groups (inds1 = G1, inds2 = G2) and the rule being true or false.
 
          G1    G2   
       ---------------    accuracy  = (a+d) / (a+b+c+d)
 true  |  a  |   b   |    
       |--------------    mutuconf  =  a*a  / ((a+b)(a+c)) 
 false |  c  |   d   | 
       ---------------    accuracyI =   a   / (a+b+c)
