Determine cluster sizes, i.e., the number of points in each cluster

Source: R/module.R
clusizes.Rd

Cluster sizes are determined using the normal distribution (\(\mu=\) num_points \(/\) num_clusters, \(\sigma=\mu/3\)), and then assuring that the final cluster sizes add up to num_points via the fix_num_points function.

Usage

clusizes(num_clusters, num_points, allow_empty)

Arguments

num_clusters

Number of clusters.

num_points

Total number of points.

allow_empty

Allow empty clusters?

Value

Number of points in each cluster (vector of length num_clusters).

Note

This function is stochastic. For reproducibility set a PRNG seed with set.seed.

Examples

set.seed(123)
sizes <- clusizes(4, 1000, TRUE)
sizes
#> [1] 190 216 355 239
sum(sizes)
#> [1] 1000
