Overview

About

Maintained by Abraham ApfelCRAN page ↗

Achieve feature selection via taking subsamples of data and then running sparse k-means on each of the subsamples. Only maintain features that received positive weights a high proportion of times. Run standard k-means to cluster the data based on subset of features selected.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/sskm/sskm_1.0.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "sskm_1.0.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.0.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
