K-均值算法，R

Question

大家！ 我被要求在R上创建K-means算法，但是我并不真正了解该语言，因此我在互联网上找到了一些示例代码，并决定使用它。 我研究了它，了解了其中使用的功能，并对其进行了一些纠正，因为它不能很好地工作。 这是代码：

# Creating a sample of data
y=rnorm(500,1.65)
x=rnorm(500,1.15)
x=cbind(x,y)
centers <- x[sample(nrow(x),5),]

# A function for calculating the distance between centers and the rest of the dots
euclid <- function(points1, points2) {
  distanceMatrix <- matrix(NA, nrow=dim(points1)[1], ncol=dim(points2)[1])
  for(i in 1:nrow(points2)) {
    distanceMatrix[,i] <- sqrt(rowSums(t(t(points1)-points2[i,])^2))
  }
  distanceMatrix
}


# A method function
K_means <- function(x, centers, euclid, nItter) {
  clusterHistory <- vector(nItter, mode="list")
  centerHistory <- vector(nItter, mode="list")

  for(i in 1:nItter) {
    distsToCenters <- euclid(x, centers)
    clusters <- apply(distsToCenters, 1, which.min)
    centers <- apply(x, 2, tapply, clusters, mean)
    # Saving history
    clusterHistory[[i]] <- clusters
    centerHistory[[i]] <- centers
  }

  structure(list(clusters = clusterHistory, centers = centerHistory))

}


res <- K_means(x, centers, euclid, 5)
#To use the same plot operations I had to use unlist, since the resulting object in my function is a list of lists,
#and default object is just a list. And also i store the history of each iteration in that object.
res <- unlist(res, recursive = FALSE)
plot(x, col = res$clusters5)
points(res$centers5, col = 1:5, pch = 8, cex = 2)

在这个简单的矩阵上工作正常。 但有人要求我在虹膜上使用它：

head(iris)
a <-data.frame(iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Sepal.Width, iris$Petal.Length, iris$Petal.Width)
centers <- a[sample(nrow(a),3),]
iris_clusters <- K_means(a, centers, euclid, 3)
iris_clusters <- unlist(iris_clusters, recursive = FALSE)
head(iris_clusters)

问题是它不起作用。 错误是：

Error in distanceMatrix[, i] <- sqrt(rowSums(t(t(points1) - points2[i,  : 
  number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length 

我知道对象的尺寸不匹配，但是我不明白为什么。 这就是为什么我要寻求帮助。 对于此代码中可能存在的所有愚蠢之处，我深表歉意，但是我对这种语言还不是很熟悉，所以不要认为我太苛刻。 谢谢！

您的实现应使用简单的类型转换

iris_clusters <- K_means(as.matrix(a), as.matrix(centers), euclid, 3) # 3 iterations

iris_clusters <- unlist(iris_clusters, recursive = FALSE)

# plotting the clusters obtained on the first two dimensions at the end of 3rd iteration

plot(a[,1:2], col = iris_clusters$clusters3, pch=19) 
points(iris_clusters$centers3, col = 1:5, pch = 8, cex = 2)

head(iris_clusters)

# cluster assignments and centroids computed at different iterations
