kml3d (version 2.4.6.1)

parKml3d: ~ Function: parKml3d ~

Description

parKml3d is a constructor of object ParKml that provide adequate default value for the use of function kml3d.

Usage

parKml3d(saveFreq = 100, maxIt = 200, imputationMethod = "copyMean",
    distanceName = "euclidean3d", power = 2, distance = function() {
    }, centerMethod = meanNA, startingCond = "nearlyAll", nbCriterion =100,scale=TRUE)

Value

An object ParKml.

Arguments

saveFreq

[numeric]: Long computations can take several days. So it is possible to save the object ClusterLongData3d on which works kml3d once in a while. saveFreq defines the frequency of the saving process. The ClusterLongData3d is saved every saveFreq clustering calculations. The object is saved in the file objectName.Rdata in the curent folder.

maxIt

[numeric]: Set a limit to the number of iteration if convergence is not reached.

imputationMethod

[character]: the calculation of quality criterion can not be done if some value are missing. imputationMethod define the method use to impute the missing value. See imputation for detail.

distanceName

[character]: name of the distance used by k-means. If the distanceName is "euclidean3d", a compiled optimized version specificaly design for joint-trajectories version is used. Otherwise, the function define in the slot distance is used.

power

[numeric]: If distanceName="minkowski", this define the power that will be used.

distance

[numeric <- function(trajA,trajB)]: function that computes the distance between two trajectories. If no function is specified, the Euclidian distance with Gower adjustment (to deal with missing value) is used.

centerMethod

[numeric <- function(vector(numeric))]: k-means algorithm computes the centers of each cluster. It is possible to personalize the definition of "center" by defining a function "centerMethod". This function should take a vector of numeric as argument and return a single numeric -the center of the vector-.

startingCond

[character]: specifies the starting condition. Should be one of "randomAll", "randomK", "maxDist", "kmeans++", "kmeans+", "kmeans-" or "kmeans--" (see initializePartition for details). It also could take two specifics values: "all" stands for c("maxDist","kmeans-") then an alternance of "kmeans--" and "randomK" while "nearlyAll" stands for "kmeans-" then an alternance of "kmeans--" and "randomK".

nbCriterion

[numeric]: set the maximum number of quality criterion that are display on the graph (since displaying a high criterion number an slow down the overall process, the default value is 100).

scale

[logical]: if TRUE, then the data will be automaticaly scaled (using the function scale with default values) before the execution of k-means on joint trajectories. Then the data will be restore (using the function restoreRealData) just before the end of the function kml3d. This option has no effect on kml.

Details

parKml3d is a constructor of object ParKml that provide adequate default value for the use of function kml3d.

Examples

### Move to tempdir
wd <- getwd()
setwd(tempdir()); getwd()

### Generation of some data
cld1 <- generateArtificialLongData3d(c(15,15,15))

### Setting two different set of option :
(option1 <- parKml3d())
(option2 <- parKml3d(centerMethod=function(x)median(x,na.rm=TRUE)))

### Running kml. Formaly, the second exemple is 'k-median'
kml3d(cld1,4,1,toPlot="both",parAlgo=option1)
kml3d(cld1,4,1,toPlot="both",parAlgo=option2)

### Go back to current dir
setwd(wd)
