Overview

About

Maintained by Vidal FeyFirst published 2021-09-061 releasesCRAN page ↗

Data are partitioned (clustered) into k clusters "around medoids", which is a more robust version of K-means implemented in the function pam() in the 'cluster' package. The PAM algorithm is described in Kaufman and Rousseeuw (1990) doi:10.1002/9780470316801. Please refer to the pam() function documentation for more references. Clustered data is plotted as a split heatmap allowing visualisation of representative "group-clusters" (medoids) in the data as separated fractions of the graph while those "sub-clusters" are visualised as a traditional heatmap based on hierarchical clustering.

  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-pamhm

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
