Fast C++ implementation of the Jarvis-Patrick clustering which first builds a shared nearest neighbor graph (k nearest neighbor sparsification) and then places two points in the same cluster if they are in each others nearest neighbor list and they share at least kt nearest neighbors.
jpclust(x, k, kt, ...)
A object of class general_clustering
with the following
components:
A integer vector with cluster assignments. Zero indicates noise points.
name of used clustering algorithm.
the distance metric used for clustering.
list of used clustering parameters.
a data matrix/data.frame (Euclidean distance is used), a
precomputed dist object or a kNN object created with kNN()
.
Neighborhood size for nearest neighbor sparsification. If x
is a kNN object then k
may be missing.
threshold on the number of shared nearest neighbors (including the
points themselves) to form clusters. Range:
additional arguments are passed on to the k nearest neighbor
search algorithm. See kNN()
for details on how to control the
search strategy.

Following the original paper, the shared nearest neighbor list is
constructed as the k neighbors plus the point itself (as neighbor zero).
Therefore, the threshold kt
needs to be in the range
Fast nearest neighbors search with kNN()
is only used if x
is
a matrix. In this case Euclidean distance is used.
