clusterDiagGaussian: Create an instance of the ['ClusterDiagGaussian'] class

In MixAll: Clustering and Classification using Model-Based Mixture Models

Create an instance of the [ClusterDiagGaussian] class

Description

This function computes the optimal diagonal Gaussian mixture model according to the criterion among the list of model given in models and the number of clusters given in nbCluster, using the strategy specified in strategy.

Usage

clusterDiagGaussian(
  data,
  nbCluster = 2,
  models = clusterDiagGaussianNames(),
  strategy = clusterStrategy(),
  criterion = "ICL",
  nbCore = 1
)

Arguments

data	frame or matrix containing the data. Rows correspond to observations and columns correspond to variables. If the data set contains NA values, they will be estimated during the estimation process.
nbCluster	[vector] listing the number of clusters to test.
models	[vector] of model names to run. By default all diagonal Gaussian models are estimated. All the model names are given by the method [clusterDiagGaussianNames].
strategy	a [ClusterStrategy] object containing the strategy to run. [clusterStrategy]() method by default.
criterion	character defining the criterion to select the best model. The best model is the one with the lowest criterion value. Possible values: "BIC", "AIC", "ICL", "ML". Default is "ICL".
nbCore	integer defining the number of processors to use (default is 1, 0 for all).

Value

An instance of the [ClusterDiagGaussian] class.

Examples

## A quantitative example with the famous geyser data set
data(geyser)
## add 10 missing values as random
x = as.matrix(geyser); n <- nrow(x); p <- ncol(x);
indexes <- matrix(c(round(runif(5,1,n)), round(runif(5,1,p))), ncol=2);
x[indexes] <- NA;
## estimate model (using fast strategy, results may be misleading)
model <- clusterDiagGaussian( data=x, nbCluster=2:3
                            , models=c( "gaussian_pk_sjk")
                            , strategy = clusterFastStrategy()
                            )

## use graphics functions

plot(model)


## get summary
summary(model)

## print model (a detailed and very long output)
print(model)

## get estimated missing values
missingValues(model)
