Chooses the 'best' regression cluster(s), if the number of true clusters is known.
1 2 3 | bestMclust(clust, nc = 1, crit = "value")

|
clust |
Cluster object returned by |
nc |
Number of 'best' clusters. |
crit |
Name of the column that should be used to determine the best clusters. |
x,y |
Original observations. |
dist |
Maximal distance of observation from cluster center. |
oregMclust
and circMclust
return a matrix containing not
only the parameters of the found clusters but the value of the heights
of the corresponding local maxima as well as how often each cluster is
found. Both are reasonable criteria for choosing 'best' clusters, which
can be done by bestMclust
.
Additional criteria could be the number of observations projected to
each cluster or the number of observations lying in a certain
neighbourhood of the cluster center point.
projMclust
adds a column proj
to clust
which
contains the number of points belonging to each cluster in the sense
that each observation belongs to the cluster with shortest orthogonal
distance. If clust
is coming from circMclust
, a second
column projrel
is added which contains this number relative to
the radius of the particular circle.
envMclust
adds a column env
to clust
which
contains the number of observations lying in a
dist
-neighbourhood of each cluster center. If clust
is
comming from circMclust
a second column envrel
is added
which contains this number relative to the radius of the particular
circle.
A matrix of clusters.
