pmclust (version 0.2-1)

Read Me First: Read Me First Function

Description

This function print the annotations of all variables used in this package.

Usage

readme()

Value

A readme message will print on screen by default and explain the global variables used in this package, including:

CHECK	convergent checking
CLASS.spmd	true id of each data, a vector of length N.spmd and has values from 1 to K
COMM.RANK	rank of current processor, obtained from comm.rank of pbdMPI
COMM.SIZE	total processors in MPI world, obtained from comm.size of pbdMPI
CONTROL	controls for EM iterations
PARAM	set or parameters
SAVE.param	(debug only) save parameters for every iterations
SAVE.iter	(debug only) save computing time for every iterations
U.spmd	temporary storage for density
W.spmd	temporary storage for eta * density
W.spmd.rowSums	temporary storage for rowSums of W.spmd
X.spmd	generated data set with dimension with dimension N.spmd * p
Z.colSums	temporary storage for rowSums of Z.spmd
Z.spmd	posterior probabilities

Each variable may contain several elements if it is a list, some variables are used for temporary storages in order to optimize computing, and some variables are used for constant variables. These variables may be restricted, and only generated by the function set.global.

One can access these variables via the global environment .pmclustEnv such as .pmclustEnv$CONTROL.

Details

This package is optimized in the way by pre-specifying several global variables in .pmclustEnv. These variables will be overwrote by EM algorithms. Users should use these names to access the results and utilize them with cautions.
