get_CH {clues} | R Documentation |
Compute CH index for a given partition of a data set.
get_CH(y, mem, disMethod = "Euclidean")
y |
data matrix which is an R matrix object (for dimension > 1) or vector object (for dimension=1) with rows be observations and columns be variables. |
mem |
vector of the cluster membership of data points. The cluster membership takes values: 1, 2, …, g, where g is the estimated number of clusters. |
disMethod |
specification of the dissimilarity measure. The available measures are “Euclidean” and “1-corr”. |
The value of the CH index.
