Description

Simple artificial 2-dimensional data to demonstrate clustering for market segmentation. One dimension is the hypothetical feature sophistication (or performance or quality, etc) of a product, the second dimension the price customers are willing to pay for the product.

Usage

priceFeature(n, which=c("2clust", "3clust", "3clustold", "5clust",
                        "ellipse", "triangle", "circle", "square",
                        "largesmall"))

Arguments

n

Sample size.

which

Shape of data set.
