Overview

About

Maintained by Irene Creus MartíCRAN page ↗

Using the novel Relative Distance to cluster datasets. Implementation of a clustering approach based on the k-means algorithm that can be used with any distance. In addition, implementation of the Hartigan and Wong method to accommodate alternative distance metrics. Both methods can operate with any distance measure, provided a suitable method is available to compute cluster centers under the chosen metric. Additionally, the k-medoids algorithm is implemented, offering a robust alternative for clustering without the need of computing cluster centers under the chosen metric. All three methods are designed to support Relative distances, Euclidean distances, and any user-defined distance functions. The Hartigan and Wong method is described in Hartigan and Wong (1979) doi:10.2307/2346830 and an explanation of the k-medoids algorithm can be found in Reynolds et al (2006) doi:10.1007/s10852-005-9022-1.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("RelativeDistClust", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-relativedistclust

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-RelativeDistClust

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-RelativeDistClust

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
