Symbolic k-Means

Description

This is a function is to carry out a k-means overs a interval symbolic data matrix.

Usage

sym.kmeans(sym.data, k = 3, iter.max = 10, nstart = 1,
algorithm = c('Hartigan-Wong', 'Lloyd', 'Forgy', 'MacQueen'))

Arguments

sym.data

Symbolic data table.

k

The number of clusters.

iter.max

Maximun number of iterations.

nstart

As in R kmeans function.

algorithm

The method to be use, as in kmeans R function.

Value

This function return the following information:

K-means clustering with 3 clusters of sizes 2, 2, 4
