cluster_est_pear: Gets a point estimate of the partition using posterior expected adjusted Rand index (PEAR)

Description

Gets a point estimate of the partition using posterior expected adjusted Rand index (PEAR)

Usage

cluster_est_pear(c)

Arguments

c
a list of vector of length n. c[[j]][i] is the cluster allocation of observation i=1...n at iteration j=1...N.

Value

a list:
  • c_est: a vector of length n. Point estimate of the partition
  • pear: a vector of length N. pear[j] is the posterior expected adjusted Rand index associated to partition c[[j]]
  • similarity: matrix of size n x n. Similarity matrix (see similarityMat)
  • opt_ind: the index of the optimal partition among the MCMC iterations.
