In <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversation_analysis conversation analysis>, it's often useful to track the contributions from each speaker to see who talks when. One measurement of engagement between a pair of conversants is to see if they talk to each other more than they talk to other people; for example, at a double date, two old friends might talk to each other more than they talk to their spouses.

Assuming we've coded up the conversation data (e.g. using Gail Jefferson's <http://mis.ucd.ie/wiki/JeffersonianTranscription transcription methods>) and assigned a unique number to each participant, MATLAB makes an excellent tool to quickly gather some of these statistics.

Given a vector of speaker observations V, where element _V(i)_ indicates who spoke sentence _i_ in the data, find how many times each element occurs directly after each other element. Note that since we may only be analyzing a part of a larger transcripts, not all speaker numbers may appear in the vector.

Return a matrix containing this data, as well as the list of (ordered) unique elements.

E.g., if V = [1 3 5 3 5 5], then

[R, U] = recurrence(V)
  R =
       0     1     0
       0     0     2
       0     1     1
  U =
       1     3     5
  
Such a tool will have other uses, of course.
