lcModels-class: 'lcModels': a list of 'lcModel' objects

In latrend: A Framework for Clustering Longitudinal Data

lcModels: a list of lcModel objects

Description

The lcModels S3 class represents a list of one or more lcModel objects. This makes it easier to work with a collection of models in a more structured manner.

A list of models is outputted from the repeated estimation functions such as latrendRep(), latrendBatch(), and others. You can construct a list of models using the lcModels() function.

Functionality

• Print an argument summary for each of the models.

• Convert to a data.frame of method arguments.

• Subset the list.

• Compute an internal metric or external metric.

• Obtain the best model according to minimizing or maximizing a metric.

• Obtain the summed estimation time.

• Plot a metric across a variable.

• Plot the cluster trajectories.

Examples

data(latrendData)
method <- lcMethodLMKM(Y ~ Time, id = "Id", time = "Time")
models <- latrendRep(method, data = latrendData, .rep = 5) # 5 repeated runs

bestModel <- min(models, "MAE")
