I am using the PAM algorithm in the CLUSTER library. When I allow PAM to seed the medoids using the default __build__ algorithm things work well:
> pam(stats.table, metric="euclidean", stand=TRUE, k=5) But I have some clusters from a Hierarchical analysis that I would like to use as seeds for the PAM algorithm. I can't figure what the mediod argument wants. When I put in the five integer indicies for the observations in stats.table that I would like to use as seeds (the row numbers), I segfault R. > pam(stats.table, metric="euclidean", stand=TRUE, medoids=c(1,3,20,2,5), k=5) *** R Crashes *** Here is my version info: > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor 0.1 year 2004 month 11 day 15 language R Any guidance would be appreciated.
