API

$3

Calculates unidimiensional and multidimensional k-means clustering on data. Parameters are:
data Unidimiensional or multidimensional array of values to be clustered. for unidimiensional data, takes the form of a simple array [1,2,3.....,n]*. For multidimensional data, takes a
NxM array [[1,2],[2,3]....[n,m]]
* k Number of clusters
* centroids Optional. Initial centroid values. If not provided, the algorith will try to choose an apropiate ones. Alternative values can be:
* "kmrand" Cluster initialization will be random, but with extra checking, so there will no be two equal initial centroids.
* "kmpp" The algorythm will use the k-means++ cluster initialization method.
* iterations Optional. Maximum number of iterations. If not provided, it will be set to 10000.
* distance function Optional. Custom distance function. Takes two points as arguments and returns a scalar number.

The function will return an object with the following data:
* it The number of iterations performed until the algorithm has converged
* k The cluster size
* centroids The value for each centroid of the cluster
* idxs The index to the centroid corresponding to each value of the data array
* test Function to test new point membership

Examples

`javascript
// k-means with 3 clusters. Random initialization
var res = skmeans(data,3);

// k-means with 3 clusters. Initial centroids provided
var res = skmeans(data,3,[1,5,9]);

// k-means with 3 clusters. k-means++ cluster initialization
var res = skmeans(data,3,"kmpp");

// k-means with 3 clusters. Random initialization. 10 max iterations
var res = skmeans(data,3,null,10);

// k-means with 3 clusters. Custom distance function
var res = skmeans(data,3,null,null,(x1,x2)=>Math.abs(x1-x2));

// Test new point
var res = skmeans(data,3,null,10);
res.test(6);

// Test new point with custom distance
var res = skmeans(data,3,null,10);
res.test(6,(x1,x2)=>Math.abs(x1-x2));
