rhor.clust | R Documentation |
An object of class "Clusters"
.
Generates n
2D points with k
(k ≥ 2) clusters along the horizontal axis
where about n/k points belongs to each cluster.
If distribution="uniform"
, the points are uniformly generated in their square
supports where one square is the unit square (i.e., with vertices (0,0), (1,0), (1,1),(0,1)), and
the others are d units shifted horizontally from each other so that their lower end vertices are
(j-1)+(j-1) d for j=1,2,…,k.
If distribution="bvnormal"
, the points are generated from the bivariate normal distribution with means equal to the
centers of the above squares (i.e. for each cluster with mean=(j+(j-1)d-1/2,1/2) for j=1,2,…,k
and the covariance matrix sd I_2, where I_2 is the 2 \times 2 identity matrix.
Notice that the clusters are more separated, i.e., generated data indicates more clear clusters as d increases
in either direction with d=0 indicating one cluster in the data. For a fixed d, when distribution="bvnormal"
,
the clustering gets stronger if the variance of each component, sd^2, gets smaller, and clustering gets weaker
as the variance of each component gets larger where default is sd=1/6.
rhor.clust(n, k, d, sd = 1/6, distribution = c("uniform", "bvnormal"))
n |
A positive integer representing the number of points to be generated from all the clusters |
k |
A positive integer representing the number of clusters to be generated |
d |
Horizontal shift indicating the level of clustering in the data. Larger absolute values in either direction (i.e. positive or negative) would yield stronger clustering. |
sd |
The standard deviation of the components of the bivariate normal distribution with default sd=1/6,
used only when |
distribution |
The argument determining the distribution of each cluster. Takes on values |
