APResult-class {apcluster}R Documentation

Class "APResult"

Description

S4 class for storing results of affinity propagation clustering. It extends the class ExClust.

Objects

Objects of this class can be created by calling apcluster or apclusterL for a given similarity matrix or calling one of these procedures with a data set and a similarity measure.

Slots

The following slots are defined for APResult objects. Most names are taken from Frey's and Dueck's original Matlab package:

sweeps:

number of times leveraged clustering ran with different subsets of samples

it:

number of iterations the algorithm ran

p:

input preference (either set by user or computed by apcluster or apclusterL)

netsim:

final total net similarity, defined as the sum of expref and dpsim (see below)

dpsim:

final sum of similarities of data points to exemplars

expref:

final sum of preferences of the identified exemplars

netsimLev:

total net similarity of the individual sweeps for leveraged clustering; only available for leveraged clustering

netsimAll:

vector containing the total net similarity for each iteration; only available if apcluster was called with details=TRUE

exprefAll:

vector containing the sum of preferences of the identified exemplars for each iteration; only available if apcluster was called with details=TRUE

dpsimAll:

vector containing the sum of similarities of data points to exemplars for each iteration; only available if apcluster was called with details=TRUE

idxAll:

matrix with sample-to-exemplar indices for each iteration; only available if apcluster was called with details=TRUE

Extends

Accessors

In the following code snippets, x is an APResult object.

[[

signature(x="APResult", i="index", j="missing"): x[[i]] returns the i-th cluster as a list of indices of samples belonging to the i-th cluster.

[

signature(x="APResult", i="index", j="missing", drop="missing"): x[i] returns a list of integer vectors with the indices of samples belonging to this cluster. The list has as many components as the argument i has elements. A list is returned even if i is a single integer.

similarity

signature(x="APResult"): gives the similarity matrix.

Examples

## create two Gaussian clouds
cl1 <- cbind(rnorm(100, 0.2, 0.05), rnorm(100, 0.8, 0.06))
cl2 <- cbind(rnorm(50, 0.7, 0.08), rnorm(50, 0.3, 0.05))
x <- rbind(cl1, cl2)

## compute similarity matrix (negative squared Euclidean)
sim <- negDistMat(x, r=2)

## run affinity propagation
apres <- apcluster(sim, details=TRUE)

## show details of clustering results
show(apres)

## plot information about clustering run
plot(apres)

## plot clustering result
plot(apres, x)

## plot heatmap
heatmap(apres, sim)
