Package: MergeKmeans Type: Package Title: Clustering Large Datasets by Merging K-Means Solutions Version: 0.2.0 Authors@R: c( person("Aqi", "Dong", email = "donga2@erau.edu", role = c("aut", "cre"), comment = c(ORCID = "0009-0004-1676-3528")), person("Volodymyr", "Melnykov", role = "aut"), person("Yang-Li", "Liao", email = "yanglliao@fcu.edu.tw", role = "aut"), person("Peng", "Li", email = "peng.li@erau.edu", role = "aut"), person("Xuejian", "Li", email = "lix16@erau.edu", role = "aut")) Description: Fast clustering of large datasets by hierarchically merging components of a K-means solution based on the pairwise overlap between the Gaussian mixture components implied by the K-means partition, as proposed by Melnykov and Michael (2020) . Implements the DEMP-K merging algorithm with single, Ward's, average, and complete linkages, the overlap map display for selecting the number of clusters, four K-means variants corresponding to Gaussian mixtures with spherical or elliptical, homoscedastic or heteroscedastic components, and a tool for selecting the number of K-means components.
