Overview

About

Maintained by Tan TranCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Implementation of the Monothetic Clustering algorithm (Chavent, 1998 doi:10.1016/S0167-8655(98)00087-7) on continuous data sets. A lot of extensions are included in the package, including applying Monothetic clustering on data sets with circular variables, visualizations with the results, and permutation and cross-validation based tests to support the decision on the number of clusters.

Changes in 1.2.1

Bugs and Improvements

MonoClus(): default value for distmethod argument is now NULL so that the it can be set to Euclidean (when cir.var is not set) or Gower distance (when cir.var is set).
Fix typos and a trailing space in the warning message of as_MonoClust() function.
Small improvement in how ncores argument is processed in perm.test() and cv.test(). It did not have a problem before but the improvement helps remove errors in Github Actions CI in Windows environment.
\@fig tags in the vignette is removed.
URL to lifecycle badge in README.md is updated.
Start unit test component with the first test is for as_MonoClust() function.

Install

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

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

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("vinhtantran/monoClust")

Development version from vinhtantran/monoClust. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-monoclust

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-monoClust

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-monoClust

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.
