getDN.means: Calculates the means of a given Data Nugget

In datanugget: Create, Optimize, and Refine Data Nuggets

Calculates the means of a given Data Nugget

Description

This function calculates the datanugget means of a given datanugget object.

Usage

getDN.means(x, 
            DN)

Arguments

x	A data matrix (of class matrix, data.frame, or data.table) containing only entries of class numeric.
DN	A datanugget object created using the create.DN or refined using the refine.DN function.

Details

create.DN function generates Data nuggets with centers based on different centering methods viz., mean, random and original. For any datanugget object created by create.DN or refined by refine.DN, this function computes the means of the datanuggets.

Value

out	nrow(DN$'Data Nuggets') by ncol(x) data frame containing the means of the data nuggets.

                        no.cores = 0,
                        make.pbs = FALSE)

      

      my.DN.means = getDN.means(x = X, 
                                DN = my.DN)
      my.DN.means
