Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples

Description

The function nkpartitions lists all possible partitions of n objects in to k clusters. The function nkpar only gives the number of such partitions.

Usage

nkpartitions(n, k, exact = TRUE, print = FALSE)
nkpar(n, k)

Arguments

n

Number of units/objects

k

Number of clusters/groups

exact

Search for partitions with exactly k or at most k clusters

print

print results as they are found?

Value

The matrix or number of possible partitions.
