Predicts the Cluster for a Given Pattern Object

Description

Predicts the cluster for a given Pattern object. Potential clusters need to be identified with the method clusterClickstreams before predicting the cluster.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'ClickstreamClusters'
predict(object, pattern, ...)

Arguments

object	A ClickstreamClusters object containing the clusters. ClickstreamClusters represent the result of a cluster analysis on a list of clickstreams (see clusterClickstreams).
pattern	Sequence of a user's initial clicks as Pattern object.
...	Ignored parameters.

Value

Returns the index of the clusters to which the given Pattern object most probably belongs to.
