archetypes (version 2.2-0.1)

stepArchetypes: Run archetypes algorithm repeatedly

Description

Run archetypes algorithm repeatedly

Usage

stepArchetypes(..., k, nrep = 3, method = archetypes, verbose = TRUE)

Value

A list with k elements and class attribute stepArchetypes. Each element is a list of class repArchetypes with nrep elements; only for internal usage.

Arguments

...

Passed to the specific archetype function.

k

A vector of integers passed in turn to the k argument of archetypes.

nrep

For each value of k run archetypes nrep times.

method

Archetypes function to use, typically archetypes, weightedArchetypes or robustArchetypes,

verbose

Show progress during exection.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
  data(skel)
  skel2 <- subset(skel, select=-Gender)
  as <- stepArchetypes(skel2, k=1:5, verbose=FALSE)

  ## Residual sum of squares curve:
  screeplot(as)

  ## Select three archetypes and from that the best
  ## recurrence:
  a3 <- bestModel(as[[3]])
  }
