ClustVarLV (version 2.1.1)

CLV3W_kmeans: Partitioning algorithm of a set of variables (associated with mode 2) oh a three-way array

Description

Each group of variables is associated with a one-rank PARAFAC model (comp x loading x weight). Moreover, a Non Negativity (NN) constraint may be added to the model, so that the loading coefficients have positive values. Return an object of class clv3w.

Usage

CLV3W_kmeans(X,K,mode.scale=0,NN=FALSE,init=10,cp.rand=5)

Arguments

X

: a three way array - variables of mode 2 will be clustered

K

: number of clusters

mode.scale

: scaling parameter applied to X, by default centering of X (for mode 2 x mode 3) is done. By default no scaling (mode.scale=0) 0 : no scaling only centering - the default 1 : scaling with standard deviation of (mode 2 x mode 3) elements 2 : global scaling (each block i.e. each mode 2 slice will have the same inertia ) 3 : global scaling (each block i.e. each mode 3 slice will have the same inertia )

NN

: non Negativity constraint to be added on the loading coefficients. By default no constraint (NN=FALSE) TRUE : a non negativity constrained is applied on the loading coefficients to set them as positive values FALSE : loading coefficients may be either positive or negative

init

: either the number of random starts i.e. partitions generated for the initialisation (By default init=10)

cp.rand

: number of random starts associated with the one rank Candecomp/Parafac model (By default cp.rand=10)

Value

results

• clusters: in line 1, the groups membership in the initial partition; in line 2 the final groups membership

• comp: the latent components of the clusters associated with the first mode

• loading: the vector of loadings associated with the second mode by cluster

• weigth: the vector of weights associated with the third mode by cluster

• criterion: vector of loss giving for each cluster the residual amount between the sub-array and its reconstitution associated with the cluster one rank PARAFAC model

• niter: number of iterations of the partitioning alorithm

param

contains the clustering parameters

• X: the scaled three-way array

call : call of the method
