predict.ClickstreamClusters: Predicts the Cluster for a Given Pattern Object

Description

Predicts the cluster for a given Pattern object. Potential clusters need to be identified with the method clusterClickstreams before predicting the cluster.

Usage

"predict"(object, pattern, ...)

Arguments

object

A ClickstreamClusters object containing the clusters. ClickstreamClusters represent the result of a cluster analysis on a list of clickstreams (see clusterClickstreams).

pattern

Sequence of a user's initial clicks as Pattern object.

...

Ignored parameters.

Value

Returns the index of the clusters to which the given Pattern object most probably belongs to.
