Fuzzy Analysis Clustering Learner

A LearnerClust for fuzzy clustering implemented in cluster::fanny(). cluster::fanny() doesn't have a default value for the number of clusters. Therefore, the k parameter which corresponds to the number of clusters here is set to 2 by default. The predict method copies cluster assignments and memberships generated for train data. The predict does not work for new data.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

mlr_learners$get("clust.fanny")
lrn("clust.fanny")

Meta Information

• Task type: “clust”
