sjc.elbow: Compute elbow values of a k-means cluster analysis
Description
Plot elbow values of a k-means cluster analysis. This function
computes a k-means cluster analysis on the provided data frame
and produces two plots: one with the different elbow values
and a second plot that maps the differences between each
"step" (i.e. between elbow values) on the y-axis. An
increase in the second plot may indicate the elbow criterion.
Usage
sjc.elbow(data, steps = 15, show.diff = FALSE)
Arguments
data
data frame containing all variables that should be used for
determining the elbow criteria
steps
maximum group-count for the k-means cluster analysis for
which the elbow-criterion should be displayed. Default is 15.
show.diff
logical, if TRUE, an additional plot with the differences between
each fusion step of the Elbow criterion calculation is shown. This plot
may help identifying the "elbow". Default for this argument is FALSE.
