RmixmodCombi (version 1.0)

mixmodMap: Computes a hard clustering corresponding to a soft clustering

Description

Computes the hard clustering through the Maximum A Posteriori rule from the matrix of a posteriori probabilities (soft clustering).

Usage

mixmodMap(tau, n = nrow(tau), K = ncol(tau))

Arguments

tau

matrix with posterior probabilities of each class for each observation (classes in columns, observations in rows).

n

number of observations.

K

number of classes.

Value

a matrix of same dimensions as tau. For each observation (row), only zeros except for the column corresponding to the cluster to which the observation is assigned, which value is one.
