Here is how it
is calculated. We first compute the within-row clc, denoted as clc to r. For
each row, we compute the mean cell length, m. Then for each cell in the row,
we compute a length consistency measure defined by this formula. L(c) is the
length of this particular cell. It results in a number between –0.5 and 0.5,
with –0.5 indicating extreme inconsistency and 0.5 indicating extreme
consistency. We then get a cumulative measure by adding up all the cells in
the row. Since each individual consistency measure can be either negative or
positive, a very consistent cell will cancel out a very inconsistent cell. As
a result, if the majority of the cells in a row are consistent, the
cumulative measure will be positive, and otherwise it will be negative. We
then compute the overall within-row CLC by averaging all the rows. The
within-column…. Finally,…. We only take the maximum here because consistency
is usually found along only one direction and not both.
