BayesMallows (version 2.2.3)

assign_cluster: Assign Assessors to Clusters

Description

Assign assessors to clusters by finding the cluster with highest posterior probability.

Usage

assign_cluster(model_fit, soft = TRUE, expand = FALSE)

Value

A dataframe. If soft = FALSE, it has one row per assessor, and columns assessor, probability and map_cluster. If soft = TRUE, it has n_cluster rows per assessor, and the additional column cluster.

Arguments

model_fit

An object of type BayesMallows, returned from compute_mallows().

soft

A logical specifying whether to perform soft or hard clustering. If soft=TRUE, all cluster probabilities are returned, whereas if soft=FALSE, only the maximum a posterior (MAP) cluster probability is returned, per assessor. In the case of a tie between two or more cluster assignments, a random cluster is taken as MAP estimate.

expand

A logical specifying whether or not to expand the rowset of each assessor to also include clusters for which the assessor has 0 a posterior assignment probability. Only used when soft = TRUE. Defaults to FALSE.
