Clara_Medoids: Clustering large applications

In ClusterR: Gaussian Mixture Models, K-Means, Mini-Batch-Kmeans, K-Medoids and Affinity Propagation Clustering

Clustering large applications

Description

Clustering large applications

Usage

Clara_Medoids(
  data,
  clusters,
  samples,
  sample_size,
  distance_metric = "euclidean",
  minkowski_p = 1,
  threads = 1,
  swap_phase = TRUE,
  fuzzy = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  seed = 1
)

Arguments

data	matrix or data frame
clusters	the number of clusters
samples	number of samples to draw from the data set
sample_size	fraction of data to draw in each sample iteration. It should be a float number greater than 0.0 and less or equal to 1.0
distance_metric	a string specifying the distance method. One of, euclidean, manhattan, chebyshev, canberra, braycurtis, pearson_correlation, simple_matching_coefficient, minkowski, hamming, jaccard_coefficient, Rao_coefficient, mahalanobis, cosine
minkowski_p	a numeric value specifying the minkowski parameter in case that distance_metric = "minkowski"
threads	an integer specifying the number of cores to run in parallel. Openmp will be utilized to parallelize the number of the different sample draws
swap_phase	either TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE then both phases ('build' and 'swap') will take place. The 'swap_phase' is considered more computationally intensive.
fuzzy	either TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, then probabilities for each cluster will be returned based on the distance between observations and medoids
verbose	either TRUE or FALSE, indicating whether progress is printed during clustering
seed	integer value for random number generator (RNG)

Details

The Clara_Medoids function is implemented in the same way as the 'clara' (clustering large applications) algorithm (Kaufman and Rousseeuw(1990)). In the 'Clara_Medoids' the 'Cluster_Medoids' function will be applied to each sample draw.

Value

a list with the following attributes : medoids, medoid_indices, sample_indices, best_dissimilarity, clusters, fuzzy_probs (if fuzzy = TRUE), clustering_stats, dissimilarity_matrix, silhouette_matrix

Examples

data(dietary_survey_IBS)

dat = dietary_survey_IBS[, -ncol(dietary_survey_IBS)]

dat = center_scale(dat)

clm = Clara_Medoids(dat, clusters = 3, samples = 5, sample_size = 0.2, swap_phase = TRUE)
