SHC: Performs Stabilized Hybrid Clustering for continuous data.

In saeidamiri1/GHC: General Hybrid Clustering Technique

Usage

SHC(x,K,B=200,knmin,knmax)

Arguments

x	An nxp data matrix; n is the number of observations and p is the number of dimensions.
K	Size of cluster

B	Number of iterations.
knmin	Minimum size of cluster to get the stabilized clustering, default knmin=2
knmax	Maximum size of cluster to get the stabilized clustering, default knmax=n/5

Details

The function 'SHC' generates the Stabilized Hybrid Clustering (SHC) presented in Algorithm 1, see Amiri et al. (2018) for details.

Examples

library("foreach")
library("doParallel")

knmin0<-2
knmax0<-floor(dim(spiral)[1]/5)
CLUS<-SHC(as.matrix(spiral),3,B=200,knmin=knmin0,knmax=knmax0)
# plot the dendrogram
plot(hclust(CLUS[[1]],method="single"),h=-1)
# print the assigned clusters to observation
print(CLUS[[2]])
