R: Repeat a clustering configuration

repeat_clustering {dtwclust} | R Documentation

## Repeat a clustering configuration

### Description

Repeat a clustering made with `compare_clusterings()` in order to obtain the TSClusters object.

### Usage

    repeat_clustering(series, clusterings, config_id, ...)

### Arguments

`series` | The same time series that were given to `compare_clusterings()`.
`clusterings` | The list returned by `compare_clusterings()`.
`config_id` | The character indicating which configuration should be re-computed. Obtained from the `clusterings`' `results`' data frames.
`...` | More arguments for `tsclust()` (e.g. `trace`).

### Details

Since the purpose of `compare_clusterings()` is to test many configurations, it is desirable to set its `return.objects` parameter to `FALSE` in order to save RAM. This function can then be used to compute the clustering object for a specific `config_id`.

### Value

A TSClusters object.

### Limitations

If the preprocessing function is subject to randomness, the clustering will not be correctly re-created by this function, since `compare_clusterings()` applies all preprocessing before calling `tsclust()`.

If any parameters were given to `compare_clusterings()` through its ellipsis, they should probably be given to this function too.
