R cluster analysis


In this example, we use R's cluster analysis functions to determine the clustering in the wheat dataset from http://www.ics.uci.edu/.

The R script we want to use in Jupyter is the following:

# load the wheat data set from uci.edu
wheat <- read.csv("http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/00236/seeds_dataset.txt", sep="\t")
# define useful column names
colnames(wheat) <-c("area", "perimeter", "compactness", "length", "width", "asymmetry", "groove", "undefined")
# exclude incomplete cases from the data
wheat <- wheat[complete.cases(wheat),]
# calculate the clusters
fit <- kmeans(wheat, 5)
fit

Once entered into a notebook, we have something like this:

The resulting generated cluster information is K-means clustering with five clusters of sizes 29, 57, 65, 15, and 32. (Note that, since I had not set the seed value for random number to use, your results may vary.)

Cluster means are:

      area perimeter compactness   length    width asymmetry  ...
