stepArchetypes: Run archetypes algorithm repeatedly

In archetypes: Archetypal Analysis

Description

Run archetypes algorithm repeatedly

Usage

stepArchetypes(..., k, nrep = 3, method = archetypes, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

...	Passed to the specific archetype function.
k	A vector of integers passed in turn to the k argument of archetypes.
nrep	For each value of k run archetypes nrep times.
method	Archetypes function to use, typically archetypes, weightedArchetypes or robustArchetypes,
verbose	Show progress during exection.

Value

A list with k elements and class attribute stepArchetypes. Each element is a list of class repArchetypes with nrep elements; only for internal usage.

Examples

## Not run: 
  data(skel)
  skel2 <- subset(skel, select=-Gender)
  as <- stepArchetypes(skel2, k=1:5, verbose=FALSE)

  ## Residual sum of squares curve:
  screeplot(as)

  ## Select three archetypes and from that the best
  ## recurrence:
  a3 <- bestModel(as[[3]])
  
## End(Not run)
