clustcurv: Determining Groups in Multiple Curves.

Description

This package provides a method for determining groups in multiple curves with an automatic selection of their number based on k-means or k-medians algorithms. The selection of the optimal number is provided by bootstrap methods. The methodology can be applied both in regression and survival framework.

Package:	clustcurv
Type:	Package
License:	MIT + file LICENSE

clustcurv is designed along lines similar to those of other R packages. This software helps the user determine groups in multiple curves (survival and regression curves). In addition, it enables both numerical and graphical outputs to be displayed (by means of ggplot2). The package provides the kclustcurv() function that groups the curves given a number k and the autoclustcurv() function that selects the optimal number of groups automatically through a boostrap-based test. The autoplot() function let the user draws the resulted estimated curves coloured by groups.

For a listing of all routines in the clustcurv package type: library(help="clustcurv").
