lcMethodGCKM {latrend}

Two-step clustering through latent growth curve modeling and k-means

Description

Two-step clustering through latent growth curve modeling and k-means.

Usage

lcMethodGCKM(
  formula,
  time = getOption("latrend.time"),
  id = getOption("latrend.id"),
  nClusters = 2,
  center = meanNA,
  standardize = scale,
  ...
)

Arguments

formula

Formula, including a random effects component for the trajectory. See lme4::lmer formula syntax.

time

The name of the time variable..

id

The name of the trajectory identifier variable.

nClusters

The number of clusters.

center

A function that computes the cluster center based on the original trajectories associated with the respective cluster. By default, the mean is computed.

standardize

A function to standardize the output matrix of the representation step. By default, the output is shifted and rescaled to ensure zero mean and unit variance.

...

Arguments passed to lme4::lmer. The following external arguments are ignored: data, centers, trace.
