fgwc: Fuzzy Geographically Weighted Clustering (FGWC)

In imamhabib/spatialClust: Spatial Clustering using Fuzzy Geographically Weighted Clustering

Description

This function used to perform Fuzzy Geographically Weighted Clustering of X dataset.

Usage

fgwc(X, population, distance, K = 2, m = 2, beta = 0.5, a = 1, b = 1,
  max.iteration = 100, threshold = 10^-5, RandomNumber = 0)

Arguments

X	data frame n x p
population	dataset 1 x n number of population each region (row)
distance	shapefile or distance matrik n x n
K	specific number of cluster (must be >1)
m	fuzzifier / degree of fuzziness
beta	proportion of geographically effect (if 0 equal Fuzzy C-Means)
a	power for increase population effect
b	power for increase distance effect
max.iteration	maximum iteration to convergence
threshold	threshold of convergence
RandomNumber	specific seed

Details

This function perform Fuzzy Geographically Weighted Clustering by G.A Mason and R.Jacobson (2007). Fuzzy Geographically Weighted Clustering is one of fuzzy clustering methods to clustering dataset become K cluster. Number of cluster (K) must be greater than 1. To control the overlaping or fuzziness of clustering, parameter m must be specified. Maximum iteration and threshold is specific number for convergencing the cluster. Random Number is number that will be used for seeding to firstly generate fuzzy membership matrix. population dataset, shapefile or distance matrix is used to give geographically weighted for membership matrix.

Clustering will produce fuzzy membership matrix (U) and fuzzy cluster centroid (V). The greatest value of membership on data point will determine cluster label. Centroid or cluster center can be use to interpret the cluster. Both membership and centroid produced by calculating mathematical distance. Fuzzy Geographically Weighted Clustering calculate distance with Euclideans norm. So it can be said that cluster will have sperichal shape of geometry.

Value

func.obj objective function that calculated.

U matrix n x K consist fuzzy membership matrix

V matrix K x p consist fuzzy centroid

D matrix n x K consist distance of data to centroid that calculated
