R: Merge Partitions

merge_partitions {ClustAssess} | R Documentation

## Merge Partitions

### Description

Merge flat disjoint clusterings whose pairwise ECS score is above a given threshold. The merging is done using a complete linkage approach.

### Usage

    merge_partitions(partition_list, ecs_thresh = 1, ncores = 1, order = TRUE)

### Arguments

`partition_list` | A list of flat disjoint membership vectors.
`ecs_thresh` | A numeric: the ecs threshold.
`ncores` | The number of parallel R instances that will run the code. If the value is set to 1, the code will be run sequentially.
`order` | A logical: if TRUE, order the partitions based on their frequencies.

### Value

a list of the merged partitions

### Examples

    initial_list = list(c(1,1,2), c(2,2,2), c('B','B','A'))
    merge_partitions(initial_list, 0.99)
