ReducedKM

Description

Implements Reduced k-means (De Soete and Carroll, 1994) which combines k-means for clustering with PCA for dimension reduction.

Usage

ReducedKM(data, nclus, ndim, nstart = 100, smartStart = FALSE)

Arguments

data

quantitative dataset

nclus

number of clusters

ndim

dimensionality of the solution

nstart

number of starts

smartStart

If TRUE then starting values are obtained with k-means

Value

obscoord

object scores

attcoord

variable loadings

centroid

cluster centroids

cluID

cluster membership

criterion

optimal value of the objective function
