SPIDER The Spider Objects

KMEANS k-means clustering object


   A=KMEANS(H) returns a k-means clustering object
   initialized with hyperparameters H.
  
   Hyperparameters and their defaults:
     k=2              -- the number of clusters
     a.child=distance -- distance measure to use (a distance object)
     max_loops=1000   -- maximum number of iterations of training
  
   Model:
     mu               -- cluster centers
     y                -- cluster assignment of each training example
  
   Methods:
     training: cluster a dataset
     testing:  assign points to clusters according to the nearest
               cluster center
     distortion: get value of distortion
  
   Example: 
    d=gen(spiral({'m=200','n=0.5','noise=0.35'}));
    [r,a] =train(kmeans,d)
    I=find(r.X==1);clf;hold on;
    plot(d.X(I,1),d.X(I,2),'r.');
    I=find(r.X==2);
    plot(d.X(I,1),d.X(I,2),'b.');
