Modalclust (version 0.2)

hmac: Perform Modal Clustering in serial mode only

Description

Performs Modal Cluster with specified smoothing paramters. Used as a sub function of phmac.

Usage

hmac(dat,Sigmas,G=NULL,member=NULL)

Arguments

dat
Matrix of data points
Sigmas
Specified smoothing levels
G
Specified values of modes. A matrix with number of rows equal to the number of modes and number of columns equal to the dimension of the data. Defualt value is NULL
member
Membership of the observations to the modes given in G. Default value is NULL

Value

  • dataSame as the input dat.
  • n.clusterNumber of clusters at each level.
  • levelLevels corresponding to each smoothing parameter.
  • SigmasSame as input sigmas.
  • modeList of modes at each distinct levels.
  • membershipList of memmbership to modes at each distinct levels.
