FPDC: Factor probabilistic distance clustering

In FPDclustering: PD-Clustering and Factor PD-Clustering

Factor probabilistic distance clustering

Description

An implementation of FPDC, a probabilistic factor clustering algorithm that involves a linear transformation of variables and a cluster optimizing the PD-clustering criterion

Usage

FPDC(data = NULL, k = 2, nf = 2, nu = 2)

Arguments

data	A matrix or data frame such that rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables.
k	A numerical parameter giving the number of clusters
nf	A numerical parameter giving the number of factors for variables
nu	A numerical parameter giving the number of factors for units

Value

A class FPDclustering list with components

label	A vector of integers indicating the cluster membership for each unit
centers	A matrix of cluster centers
probability	A matrix of probability of each point belonging to each cluster
JDF	The value of the Joint distance function
iter	The number of iterations
explained	The explained variability
data	the data set
