EMM {rEMM}

Creator for Class "EMM"

Description

Create a new object of class "EMM".

Usage

EMM(threshold = 0.2, measure = "euclidean", distFun = NULL, 
    centroids = identical(tolower(measure), "euclidean"), 
    lambda = 0, data = NULL)

Arguments

threshold

Object of class "numeric" with the dissimilarity threshold used by the clustering algorithm for assigning a new observation to existing clusters.

measure

Object of class "character" containing the name of the dissimilarity measure used (see dist in proxy for available measures).

distFun

Specify a function passed on as method to dist in proxy (see dist in proxy). The character string passed on as measure will be used as the measure's name.

centroids

Object of class "logical" indicating if centroids are used for clusters. If FALSE, pseudo medians (first observation of a cluster) are used to represent a cluster.

lambda

Object of class "numeric" specifying the rate for fading.

data

Initial data to build the EMM. This just calls build on the new EMM.

Value

An object of class "EMM".

Examples

## load EMMTraffic data
data(EMMTraffic)

## create empty EMM
emm <- EMM(threshold=0.2, measure="eJaccard", lambda=.1)
emm

## cluster some data
build(emm, EMMTraffic)
emm

## what clusters were the data points assigned to?
last_clustering(emm)

## plot the clustering as a graph
plot(emm)
