validate_sequence_clusters: Validate sequence clusters descriptively

In gp3sequences: Transparent Analysis of Ordered Categorical Sequences

Validate sequence clusters descriptively

Description

Validate sequence clusters descriptively

Usage

validate_sequence_clusters(clustering, distance = NULL)

Arguments

clustering	A result from cluster_sequences() or a named assignment vector.
distance	Optional distance object when clustering is an assignment vector.

Value

A list containing overall validation metrics, cluster sizes, and per-sequence silhouette values.

Examples

sequences <- data.frame(
  sequence_id = rep(c("s1", "s2", "s3", "s4"), each = 4L),
  sequence_order = rep(1:4, times = 4L),
  state = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "A", "B", "C", "C",
            "D", "C", "B", "A", "D", "C", "A", "A"),
  group = rep(c("g1", "g2"), each = 8L),
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
distance <- compute_sequence_distance(sequences)
fit <- cluster_sequences(distance, k = 2L)
validate_sequence_clusters(fit)
