Modalclust (version 0.2)

choose.cluster: Choosing the cluster which is closest to a specified point

Description

Choosing the cluster which is closest to a point specified by user. Works only for two dimensional data.

Usage

choose.cluster(hmacobj,x=NULL,level=NULL,n.cluster=NULL)

Arguments

hmacobj

The output of HMAC analysis. An object of class 'hmac'.

x

The user-specified location. Deafult value is NULL in which case user chooses a point using the locator function.

level

The specified level

n.cluster

The specified number of clusters. Either level or n.cluster needs to be specified

Examples

data(disc2d.hmac)
#disc2d.hmac is the output of phmac(disc2d,npart=1)

choose.cluster(disc2d.hmac,x=c(0,0),level=3)
choose.cluster(disc2d.hmac,x=c(0,0),n.cluster=2)

#Users can choose anypoint they want by clicking the point in the plot after the following command. 
#choose.cluster(disc2d.hmac,level=3)
