PAMConfig

Properties

k

integer≥ 1

Number of clusters. Must be fewer than the number of cases.

dist

string

Distance measure.

one of"euclidean""manhattan"

stand

boolean

Standardize each variable before computing dissimilarities, by subtracting its mean and dividing by its mean absolute deviation.

do_swap

boolean

Perform the swap phase. Skipping it is faster and gives only the build phase's initial medoids.

variant

string

Algorithm variant. "original" is the published algorithm; the others trade exactness for speed, "faster" most aggressively.

one of"original""o_1""o_2""f_3""f_4""f_5""faster"

nstart

integer | null≥ 1

Number of random starts. Unset uses the deterministic build phase instead of drawing the initial medoids at random.
