I have a binary vector whose length is known.
Such a vector contains an unspecified number of 1s.
My goal is
1. to generate as many clusters as the number of 1s
2. to place the 1 as much as possible at the center of its own cluster
Example. Say I have the following binary vector:
v <- c(0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0)
Then I have to get 3 clusters.
I can generate a matrix containing the distance of each element from each one
of the
clusters center (the 1s):
1st_1 2nd_1 3rd_1
---|-----------------------------------
0 | 2 7 9
0 | 1 6 8
1 | 0 5 7
0 | 1 4 6
0 | 2 3 5
0 | 3 2 4
0 | 4 1 3
1 | 5 0 2
0 | 6 1 1
1 | 7 2 0
0 | 8 3 1
0 | 9 4 2
Should I input such matrix to R function "dist" and then use for instance PAM
or KMEAN
to get the expected 3 clusters ?
I would greatly appreciate some help.
Thank you so much.
