Usage

DSC_R(...)
# S3 method for DSC_R
update(
  object,
  dsd,
  n = 1L,
  verbose = FALSE,
  block = 10000L,
  return = c("nothing", "assignment", "model"),
  ...
)

Arguments

...

dsd

a data stream object.

n

number of data points taken from the stream.

Details

DSC_R cannot be instantiated.

Implementing new Classes

To implement a new clusterer you need to create an S3 class with elements description and RObj. RObj needs to be a reference class with methods:

  • cluster(newdata, ...)

  • get_microclusters(...)

  • get_microweights(...)

  • get_macroclusters(...)

  • get_macroweights(...)

  • microToMacro(micro, ...)

See DSC for details and parameters.

DSC_R cannot be instantiated.
