similar to: Getting individual co-ordinate points in k medoids cluster

Greetings, I have had good success using the clara() function to perform a simple cluster analysis on a large dataset (1 million+ records with 9 variables). Since the clara function is a wrapper to pam(), which will accept known medoid data - I am wondering if this too is possible with clara() ... The documentation does not suggest that this is possible. Essentially I am trying to

Hello, When using PAM (partitioning around medoids), I would like to skip the build-step and give the fonction my own medoids. Do you know if it is possible, and how ? Thank you very much. Isabel

I am using the PAM algorithm in the CLUSTER library. When I allow PAM to seed the medoids using the default __build__ algorithm things work well: > pam(stats.table, metric="euclidean", stand=TRUE, k=5) But I have some clusters from a Hierarchical analysis that I would like to use as seeds for the PAM algorithm. I can't figure what the mediod argument wants. When I put in the

Hello R-community: Much of the time I want to use loops to look at graphs, etc. For example, I have 25 plots, for which the names are m.1$medoids, m.2$medoids, ..., m.25$medoids. I want to index the object number (1:25) as below (just to show concept). for (i in 1:25){ plot(m.i$medoids) } I've tried the following, with negative results for ...

Hello Martin Maechler and All, A simple question (I hope): How can I compute the "sum of the dissimilarities" that appears in the pam command (from the cluster package) ? Is it the "manhattan" distance (such as the one implemented by "dist") ? I am asking since I am running clustering on a dataset. I found 7 medoids with the pam command, and from it I have the

Hello all. I wish to run k-means with "manhattan" distance. Since this is not supported by the function "kmeans", I turned to the "pam" function in the "fpc" package. Yet, when I tried to have the algorithm run with different starting points, I found that pam ignores and keep on starting the algorithm from the same starting-points (medoids). For my

Hola. Yo en vez de utilizar análisis cluster que impliquen distancias, probaría con un kmedias o con un pam (partition around medoids) pero utilizando muestras, la función clara de la librería cluster puede ayudarte. Pego el details de la ayuda de 'clara' Details clara is fully described in chapter 3 of Kaufman and Rousseeuw (1990). Compared to other partitioning methods such as pam,

Hello everyone, I need to do k-medoids clustering for data which consists of 50,000 observations. I have computed distances between the observations separately and tried to use those with pam(). I got the "cannot allocate vector of length" error and I realize this job is too memory intensive. I am at a bit of a loss on what to do at this point. I can't use clara(), because I

Hola, Estoy haciendo un PCA con el paquete ade4. En el gráfico, las etiquetas de las especies suelen quedar sobrepuestas unas sobre las otras y no se pueden distinguir individualmente. ¿Hay alguna manera de generar un poco de espacio entre ellas para poder visualizarlas todas? gracias Yésica [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am using some functions from package clusterSim to evaluate the best clusters layout.

Dear all, I have a problem when using some classification functions (Kmeans, PAM, FANNY...) with a distance matrix, and i would to understand how it proceeds for the positioning of centroids after one execution step. In fact, in the classical formulation of the algorithm, after each step, to re-position the center, it calculates the distance between any elements of the old cluster and its

Hello I am trying to input some co-ordinate sets into R of the form x,y by using lists. The command I am using is: p1 <- list(x=c(3445,563,646), y=c(234,567,456)) However the actual co-ordinate sets that I am trying to input have 305 points each and I think that the program will not accept a command that is as long as necessary. Is this so? If this is the case can you tell me how to read

Hi, I wanted the DICE coefficient (similarity measure for binary variables) to be calculated in R and found that the "igraph" package has the option of "similarity.dice" to do this. But, for this command, the input object should be an igraph object. But, I have a dataframe of columns containing 1's and 0's. Can I convert this dataframe into an igraph object, so that

Hello all, I am using the clustering functions in R in order to work with large masses of binary time series data, however the clustering functions do not seem able to fit this size of practical problem. Library 'hclust' is good (though it may be sub par for this size of problem, thus doubly poor for this application) in that I do not want to make assumptions about the number of
