Clustering (version 1.7)

pam_euclidean_method: Method that runs the pam algorithm using the Euclidean metric to make an external or internal validation of the cluster.

Description

Method that runs the pam algorithm using the Euclidean metric to make an external or internal validation of the cluster.

Usage

pam_euclidean_method(dt, clusters, columnClass, metric)

Arguments

dt

matrix or data frame with the set of values to be applied to the algorithm.

clusters

number of clusters.

columnClass

is an integer with the number of columns, for example if a dataset has five column, we can select column four to calculate alidation.

metric

is a characters vector with the metrics avalaible in the package. The metrics implemented are: entropy, variation_information,precision,recall,f_measure,fowlkes_mallows_index,connectivity,dunn,silhouette.

Value

returns a list with both the internal and external evaluation of the grouping.
