gmm03F: Ensemble of Gaussian Mixtures with Random Projection

In T4cluster: Tools for Cluster Analysis

Ensemble of Gaussian Mixtures with Random Projection

Description

When the data lies in a high-dimensional Euclidean space, fitting a model-based clustering algorithm is troublesome. This function implements an algorithm from the reference, which uses an aggregate information from an ensemble of Gaussian mixtures in combination with random projection.

Usage

gmm03F(data, k = 2, ...)

Arguments

data	an (n\times p) matrix of row-stacked observations.
k	the number of clusters (default: 2).
...	extra parameters including nruns the number of projections (default: 20). lowdim target dimension for random projection (default: 5). maxiter the maximum number of iterations (default: 10). usediag a logical; covariances are diagonal if TRUE, or full covariances are returned for FALSE (default: FALSE).

Value

a named list of S3 class T4cluster containing

cluster

a length-n vector of class labels (from 1:k).

algorithm

name of the algorithm.

Examples

# -------------------------------------------------------------
#            clustering with 'iris' dataset
# -------------------------------------------------------------
## PREPARE
data(iris)
X   = as.matrix(iris[,1:4])
lab = as.integer(as.factor(iris[,5]))

## EMBEDDING WITH PCA
X2d = Rdimtools::do.pca(X, ndim=2)$Y  

## CLUSTERING WITH DIFFERENT K VALUES
cl2 = gmm03F(X, k=2)$cluster
cl3 = gmm03F(X, k=3)$cluster
cl4 = gmm03F(X, k=4)$cluster

## VISUALIZATION
opar <- par(no.readonly=TRUE)
par(mfrow=c(2,2), pty="s")
plot(X2d, col=lab, pch=19, main="true label")
plot(X2d, col=cl2, pch=19, main="gmm03F: k=2")
plot(X2d, col=cl3, pch=19, main="gmm03F: k=3")
plot(X2d, col=cl4, pch=19, main="gmm03F: k=4")
par(opar)
