wskm: Weighted k-Means Clustering

Entropy weighted k-means (ewkm) by Liping Jing, Michael K. Ng and Joshua Zhexue Huang (2007) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2007.1048> is a weighted subspace clustering algorithm that is well suited to very high dimensional data. Weights are calculated as the importance of a variable with regard to cluster membership. The two-level variable weighting clustering algorithm tw-k-means (twkm) by Xiaojun Chen, Xiaofei Xu, Joshua Zhexue Huang and Yunming Ye (2013) <doi:10.1109/TKDE.2011.262> introduces two types of weights, the weights on individual variables and the weights on variable groups, and they are calculated during the clustering process. The feature group weighted k-means (fgkm) by Xiaojun Chen, Yunminng Ye, Xiaofei Xu and Joshua Zhexue Huang (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.patcog.2011.06.004> extends this concept by grouping features and weighting the group in addition to weighting individual features.
