df_mc: Gradient of the Variance Ratio Clusterability Across a...

In DavidHofmeyr/PPCI: Projection Pursuit for Cluster Identification

Description

Finds the gradient of the variance ratio across the best hyperplane orthogonal to a given projection vector. Used to obtain maximum clusterability hyperplanes using gradient based optimisation.

Usage

df_mc(v, X, P)

Arguments

v	a numeric vector of length ncol(X)
X	a numeric matrix (num_data x num_dimensions) to be projected on v
P	a list of parameters including (at least) $nmin (positive integer minimum cluster size).

Value

the (vector) gradient of the variance across the best hyperplane orthogonal to v.
