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)

Hello, I've recently finished with an implementation of KMeans with two initialization techniques, random initialization and KMeans++. I would like to share my findings after evaluating the same. I have tested this implementation of KMeans with a BBC news article dataset. I am currently working on evaluating the same with FIRE datasets. Currently, clustering more than 500 documents

Hello, I've been working on the KMeans clustering algorithm recently and since the past week, I have been stuck on a problem which I'm not able to find a solution to. Since we are representing documents as Tf-idf vectors, they are really sparse vectors (a usual corpus can have around 5000 terms). So it gets really difficult to represent these sparse vectors in a way that would be

Hi, I want to know which distance is using in the function kmeans and if we can change this distance. Indeed, in the function pam, we can put a distance matrix in parameter (by the line "pam<-pam(dist(matrixdata),k=7)" ) but we can't do it in the function kmeans, we have to put the matrix of data directly ... Thanks in advance, Nicolas BOUGET

Hi there I have been using R to perform kmeans on a dataset. The data is fed in using read.table and then a matrix (x) is created i.e: [ mat <- matrix(0, nlevels(DF$V1), nlevels(DF$V2), dimnames = list(levels(DF$V1), levels(DF$V2))) mat[cbind(DF$V1, DF$V2)] <- DF$V3 This matrix is then taken and a distance matrix (y) created using dist() before performing the kmeans clustering. My query

Hello there. Is there any function in R that can do cluster on a set of data that has both categorical and numerical variables? thanks. siangli

Hello, I need to calculate the centroids of some spatial polygons that I have placed into a Polygons-class object. Is the labeling point in the Polygons-class the centroid of the polygon? Thank you for your help.

Dear WizaRds, although this might be a trivial question to the community, I was unable to find anything solving my problem in the help files on CRAN. Please help. Suppose I have 4 variables and want to use all possible combinations: 1,2 1,3 1,4 2,3 2,4 3,4 for a further kmeans partitioning. I tried permutations() of package e1071, but this is not what I need. Thank you for your help and

Hello. Is it possible to choose the distance in the kmeans algorithm? I have m vectors of n components and I want to cluster them using kmeans algorithm but I want to use the Mahalanobis distance or another distance. How can I do it in R? If I use kmeans, I have no option to choose the distance. Thanks in advance, Arnau.

Dear R community, I would be greatful if somebody could shed light on the following. I have created a set of 6 points to check how centroid agglomeration works in cluster analysis: > Y <- data.frame(x=c(-1,1,1,-1,10,12),y=c(1,1,-1,-1,0,0)) It is quite intuitive to understand that the last clusters to be joined will be {1,2,3,4} with {5,6}. Now, the centroid for the first cluster has

Dear R-helpers, I would appreicate if someone can help me on the transfer parameter in ARIMAX and also see what I am doing is correct. I am using ARIMAX with 2 Exogeneous Variables and 10 years data are as follows: DepVar Period, depVar, IndepVar1 Period, indepVar1, IndepVar2 Period, indepVar2 Jan 1998,708,Jan 1998,495,Jan 1998,245.490 Feb 1998,670,Feb 1998,421.25,Feb 1998,288.170 Mar

Dear UseRs,i want to find centroid of clusters, which i generated by hclust. Is there a way doing that? i took mean to elements in each cluster to get centroid but i am not sure if i am right? thanks in advanceeliza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I have carried out an lda analysis using the lda function of MASS package. I have plotted the LD1xLD2 to represent the data.

Hello there. I have fitted a rpart model. > rpartModel <- rpart(y~., data=data.frame(y=y,x=x),method="class", ....) and can use rpart$where to find out the terminal nodes that each observations belongs. Now, I have a set of new data and used predict.rpart which seems to give only the predicted value with no information similar to rpart$where. May I know how

Dear All, I am using a specific approach for my master thesis. In essence, a supervised reclassification is used as an intermediate step to find chemical parameters which are able to reclassify defined groups. These variables will be used in a next step where location and scale estimators of the groups are important. Traditionally linear discriminant analysis is used for reclassification which

hi all. I have a matrix of data with 5 different groups and 20 individual response per group, and about 12 variables collected for each. I want to represent the result in a 2D plot. PCA is not so good because the difference between the groups is not obvious. I have seen, in a recent paper, people doing a MANOVA and representing it in a centroid plot (they used Matlab to do it). I would like
