predict.ClickstreamClusters: Predicts the Cluster for a Given Pattern Object

Description

Predicts the cluster for a given Pattern object. Potential clusters need to be identified with the method clusterClickstreams before predicting the cluster.

Usage

# S3 method for ClickstreamClusters
predict(object, pattern, ...)

Value

Returns the index of the clusters to which the given Pattern

object most probably belongs to.

Arguments

object

A ClickstreamClusters object containing the clusters. ClickstreamClusters represent the result of a cluster analysis on a list of clickstreams (see clusterClickstreams).

pattern

Sequence of a user's initial clicks as Pattern object.
