generate.sample6: Sample6 generator: multivariate normally distributed data synthetic generator

Description

n examples for each from 6 classes are generated. All classes (each one of n examples) has dim components The clusters have a hierarchical structure: 2 or 6 clusters may be detected. Anyway note that the structure of the data depends on the parameters: two main clusters are centered in m and -m. Around each main cluster three other subclusters are generated using the displacement d.

Usage

generate.sample6(n = 20, m = 10, dim = 2, d = 3, s = 0.2)

Value

a matrix with dim rows (variables) and n*6 columns (examples)

Arguments

n

number of examples for each class

m

mean basic value

dim

amount of the displacement from m

d

dimension of the examples

s

value of the diagonal elements of the covariance matrix
