Hi All, For the function "bclust"(e1071), the argument "base.method" is explained as "must be the name of a partitioning cluster function returning a list with the same components as the return value of 'kmeans'. In my understanding, there are three partitioning cluster functions in R, which are "clara, pam, fanny". Then I check each of them to

Hi there, I use function "kmeans" and "clara" to cluster one flow cytometry dataset. By using function "plot", the clusters got from "clara" can be graphed, while "kmeans" not. How can I get the plot of the clusters of "kmeans"? And, I hope to compare the two methods "kmeans" and "clara", or in other word, I

Art (and group), I'm doing this as a form of missing value analysis. Approximately 30% of the cases are missing data for one variable. To impute values for those cases, I'd like to match those cases that are missing the variable to all other cases and then take an average of those to infill. I realize there are many methods for imputing data. I'm not well versed on any in

I use kmeans to classify spectral events in high and low 1/3 octave bands: #Do cluster analysis CyclA<-data.frame(LlowA,LhghA) CntrA<-matrix(c(0.9,0.8,0.8,0.75,0.65,0.65), nrow = 3, ncol=2, byrow=TRUE) ClstA<-kmeans(CyclA,centers=CntrA,nstart=50,algorithm="MacQueen") This works well when the actual data shows 1,2 or 3 groups that are not "too close" in a cross plot.

kmeans and clara work great. Thank you for the tip. I have another question: Is it possible to weight the observations in a cluster analysis ? I haven't found any mention of this in the kmeans of clara help texts.

Hi I'm trying to cluster a continuous dataset with a varying number of clusters and with a restriction that each cluster must have more than 'x' number of observations. I have tried the clara function, using silhouette to give me the neighbouring cluster mediod of each observation, then merging an observation from a cluster with less than 'x' obs. into its' neighbour,

Dear all, I am pleased to announce the release of a new package named 'clusterMI' on CRAN. clusterMI allows clustering of incomplete observations by addressing missing values using multiple imputation. For achieving this goal, the methodology consists in three steps: 1. missing data imputation using tailored imputation models: four multiple imputation methods are proposed, two are

Hello R users It's some time I am playing with a dataset to do some cluster analysis. The data set consists of 14 columns being geographical coordinates and monthly temperatures in annual files latitutde - longitude - temperature 1 -..... - temperature 12 I have some missing values in some cases, maybe there are 8 monthly valid values at some points with four non valid. I don't want to

Hello, here is a working reproducible example which crashes R using kmeans or gives empty clusters using the nstart option with R 15.2. library(cluster) kmeans(ruspini,4) kmeans(ruspini,4,nstart=2) kmeans(ruspini,4,nstart=4) kmeans(ruspini,4,nstart=10) ?kmeans either we got empty always clusters and or, after some further commands an segfault. regards, Detlef Groth ------------ [R] Empty

hi r-help, i am doing kmeans clustering in stats. i tried for five clusters clustering using: kcl1 <- kmeans(as1[,c("contlife","somlife","agglife","sexlife",                         "rellife","hordlife","doutlife","symtlife","washlife",                       

Hi all, I'm running the following code to generate 40 different jpegs based on the resulting data. I'd like the file names to be 'Cluster1.jpeg', however the code write filenames like 'Cluster 1 .jpeg'. How can I get rid of the unwanted spaces? I've looked at ?format and it doesn't seem to work - at least in this context. ################### ClusCount <- 40

Hi all, I've got some functioning code that I've literally taken hours to write. My 'R' coding is getting better...it used to take days :) I know I've done a poor job of optimizing the code. In addition, I'm missing an important step and don't know where to put it. So, three questions: 1) I'd like the resulting output to be sorted on distance (ascending) and

I'm doing kmeans partitioning on a small (n=26) dataset that has 5 variables. I noticed that if I repeatedly run the same command, the cluster centers change and the cluster membership changes.

Dear experts, I am encountering a version-dependent issue. My laptop runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit, R 2.14.1; the issue explained below never occurred with this version of R My desktop runs Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit, R 2.13.2; what follows applies to this setup. The data I'm clustering is constituted by the rows of a 320 x 6 matrix containing integers ranging from 1 to 7, no missing data. I applied

Hi there, I'm doing some clustering analysis and try to find all the algorithms related to clustering in R. Here is the list of the algorithms I found. But I'm not sure if It's the complete list. Could you please check it and see if there're other ones? Thank you very much! P.S.: List of the algorithms related to clustering: (1) Hierarchical methods hclust

Hello, I have used the functions agnes and cutree to cluster my data (4977 objects x 22 variables) into 8 clusters. I would like to refine the solution using a k-means or similar algorithm, setting the initial cluster centres as the group means from agnes. However my data matrix has NA's in it and the function kmeans does not appear to accept this? > dim(centres) [1] 8 22 > dim(data)

For the analysis of financial data wih a large variance, what is the best way to select an outlier threshold? Listed below, is there a best method to select an outlier threshold and how does R calculate it? In R, how do you find the outlier threshold through an interquartile range? In R, how do you find the outlier threshold using the hist command? In R, how do you find the outlier threshold

Dear R, Can't I cluster a dataset into k clusters where k is exactly the number of observations? I have version 12.2 installed. See this example > a <- matrix(1:100, 20) > kmeans(a, 20) Error: number of cluster centres must lie between 1 and nrow(x) This is a bit ad-hoc but I known R from version 2.12 allows number of clusters to be one. So I guess allowing number of clusters to be

Hi all, I've been struggling learning R and need to turn to the list again. I've got a dataset (comma-delimited file) with the following fields: recid, latitude, longitude, population, dwelling and age. For each observation, I'd like to calculate the total number of people and dwellings and average age within 2 k.m. Distance could be Euclidean, however, a proper distance
