moGap {mogsa} | R Documentation

## Gap statistic for clustering latent variables in `moa-class`.

### Description

Gap statitistic is a measurement of goodness of clustering result. This is a convenient function to calculate the gap statistic of clustering "moa".

### Usage

    moGap(x, K.max, B = 100, cluster = c("kmeans", "hclust"), plot = TRUE,
      dist.method = "euclidean", dist.diag = FALSE, dist.upper = FALSE, dist.p = 2,
      hcl.method = "complete", hcl.members = NULL,
      km.iter.max = 10, km.nstart = 10,
      km.algorithm = c("Hartigan-Wong", "Lloyd", "Forgy", "MacQueen"), km.trace = FALSE)

### Arguments

`x` | An object of class `moa-class` returned by `mbpca`.
`K.max` | The maximum number of clusters to consider, passed to `clusGap`
`B` | The number of bootstrap, passed to `clusGap`
`cluster` | A charater string could be either "kmeans" or "hclust" to specify the clustering algorithm.
`plot` | Logical; whether return the gap statistic plot.
`dist.method` | Distance meaurement, passed to function `"dist"`.
`dist.diag` | Passed to function `"dist"`.
`dist.upper` | Passed to function `"dist"`.
`dist.p` | Passed to function `"dist"`.
`hcl.method` | Hierarchical clustering method, passed to `"hclust"`
`hcl.members` | Passed to `"hclust"`
`km.iter.max` | Maximum number of iteration in kmeans, passed to `"kmeans"`.
`km.nstart` | An integer to specify how many random sets should be chosen. passed to `"kmeans"`.
`km.algorithm` | Kmeans algorithm, passed to `"kmeans"`.
`km.trace` | See function `"kmeans"`.

### Value

It returns a list consists of five components:

"Tab", "n", "B", "FUNcluster" - see `clusGap`

"nClust" - the estimated number of clusters using different method, see `maxSE`
