Determine cluster sizes, i.e., the number of points in each cluster

Description

\loadmathjax

Cluster sizes are determined using the normal distribution (\mjeqn\mu=μ= num_points \mjseqn/ num_clusters, \mjeqn\sigma=\mu/3σ=μ/3), and then assuring that the final cluster sizes add up to num_points via the fix_num_points function.

Usage

clusizes(num_clusters, num_points, allow_empty)

Arguments

num_clusters	Number of clusters.
num_points	Total number of points.
allow_empty	Allow empty clusters?

Value

Number of points in each cluster (vector of length num_clusters).

Note

This function is stochastic. For reproducibility set a PRNG seed with set.seed.

Examples

set.seed(123)
sizes <- clusizes(4, 1000, TRUE)
sizes
sum(sizes)
