C-means
Description
The classical c-mean algorithm
Usage
CMeans(
  data,
  k,
  m,
  maxiter = 500,
  tol = 0.01,
  standardize = TRUE,
  robust = FALSE,
  noise_cluster = FALSE,
  delta = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE,
  init = "random",
  seed = NULL
)
Arguments
| data | A dataframe with only numerical variables. Can also be a list of rasters (produced by the package raster). In that case, each raster is considered as a variable and each pixel is an observation. Pixels with NA values are not used during the classification. | 
| k | An integer describing the number of cluster to find | 
| m | A float for the fuzziness degree | 
| maxiter | An integer for the maximum number of iterations | 
| tol | The tolerance criterion used in the evaluateMatrices function for convergence assessment | 
| standardize | A boolean to specify if the variables must be centred and reduced (default = True) | 
| robust | A boolean indicating if the "robust" version of the algorithm must be used (see details) | 
| noise_cluster | A boolean indicatong if a noise cluster must be added to the solution (see details) | 
| delta | A float giving the distance of the noise cluster to each observation | 
| verbose | A boolean to specify if the progress should be printed | 
| init | A string indicating how the initial centres must be selected. "random" indicates that random observations are used as centres. "kpp" use a distance-based method resulting in more dispersed centres at the beginning. Both of them are heuristic. | 
| seed | An integer used for random number generation. It ensures that the starting centres will be the same if the same value is selected. | 
Value
An S3 object of class FCMres with the following slots
- Centers: a dataframe describing the final centers of the groups 
- Belongings: the final membership matrix 
- Groups: a vector with the names of the most likely group for each observation 
- Data: the dataset used to perform the clustering (might be standardized) 
- isRaster: TRUE if rasters were used as input data, FALSE otherwise 
- k: the number of groups 
- m: the fuzyness degree 
- alpha: the spatial weighting parameter (if SFCM or SGFCM) 
- beta: beta parameter for generalized version of FCM (GFCM or SGFCM) 
- algo: the name of the algorithm used 
- rasters: a list of rasters with membership values and the most likely group (if rasters were used) 
- missing: a boolean vector indicating raster cell with data (TRUE) and with NA (FALSE) (if rasters were used) 
- maxiter: the maximum number of iterations used 
- tol: the convergence criterio 
- lag_method: the lag function used (if SFCM or SGFCM) 
- nblistw: the neighbours list used (if vector data were used for SFCM or SGFCM) 
- window: the window used (if raster data were used for SFCM or SGFCM)
