Partitioner: distance, first principal component, scaled means

Description

Partitioners are functions that tell the partition algorithm 1) what to try to reduce 2) how to measure how much information is lost from the reduction and 3) how to reduce the data. In partition, functions that handle 1) are called directors, functions that handle 2) are called metrics, and functions that handle 3) are called reducers. partition has a number of pre-specified partitioners for agglomerative data reduction. Custom partitioners can be created with as_partitioner().

Pass partitioner objects to the partitioner argument of partition().

part_pc1() uses the following direct-measure-reduce approach:

• direct: direct_distance(), Minimum Distance

• measure: measure_variance_explained(), Variance Explained (PCA)

• reduce: reduce_first_component(), First Principal Component

Usage

part_pc1(spearman = FALSE)

Arguments

spearman

logical. Use Spearman's correlation for distance matrix?

Value

a partitioner

Examples

set.seed(123)
df <- simulate_block_data(c(3, 4, 5), lower_corr = .4, upper_corr = .6, n = 100)

# fit partition using part_pc1()
partition(df, threshold = .6, partitioner = part_pc1())
