# purity: Clustering Purity In funtimes: Functions for Time Series Analysis

## Description

Calculate purity of the clustering results. For example, see \insertCiteSchaeffer_etal_2016_trust;textualfuntimes.

## Usage

 1 purity(classes, clusters) 

## Arguments

 classes a vector with labels of true classes. clusters a vector with labels of assigned clusters for which purity is to be tested. Should be of the same length as classes.

## Details

Following \insertCiteManning_etal_2008;textualfuntimes, each cluster is assigned to the class which is most frequent in the cluster, then

Purity(Ω,C) = \frac{1}{N}∑_{k}\max_{j}|ω_k\cap c_j|,

where Ω=\{ω_1,…,ω_K \} is the set of identified clusters and C=\{c_1,…,c_J\} is the set of classes. That is, within each class j=1,…,J find the size of the most populous cluster from the K-j unassigned clusters. Then, sum together the \min(K,J) sizes found and divide by N, where N = length(classes) = length(clusters).

If \max_{j}|ω_k\cap c_j| is not unique for some j, it is assigned to the class which second maximum is the smallest, to maximize the Purity (see ‘Examples’).

Number of unique elements in classes and clusters may differ.

## Value

A list with two elements:

 pur purity value. out table with \min(K,J) = min(length(unique(classes)), length(unique(clusters))) rows and the following columns: ClassLabels, ClusterLabels, and ClusterSize.
