R: Predict Cluster Membership

predict-methods {flexclust} | R Documentation

## Predict Cluster Membership

### Description

Return either the cluster membership of training data or predict for new data.

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'kccasimple'
    predict(object, newdata, ...)
    ## S4 method for signature 'flexclust,ANY'
    clusters(object, newdata, ...)

### Arguments

`object` | Object of class inheriting from `"flexclust"`.
`newdata` | An optional data matrix with the same number of columns as the cluster centers. If omitted, the fitted values are used.
`...` | Currently not used.

### Details

`clusters` can be used on any object of class `"flexclust"` and returns the cluster memberships of the training data.

`predict` can be used only on objects of class `"kcca"` (which inherit from `"flexclust"`). If no `newdata` argument is specified, the function is identical to `clusters`, if `newdata` is specified, then cluster memberships for the new data are predicted. `clusters(object, newdata, ...)` is an alias for `predict(object, newdata, ...)`.
