Hi Dan, Dylan, Thierry & the rest of the list Firstly, thanks for your input so far. Unfortunately I am running out of time as I need to get the analysis complete before IGARSS 09 in Cape Town so I don't think I will be able to implement your suggestions. In the meantime I have just selected se

Hi Wesley, So you just want to partition the 1916 cases into three clusters. This is a clustering problem rather than a discriminant analysis oriented classification problem. As a result, Dylan Beaudette's suggestion of using the clara() function is pretty reasonable, but your data set isn't so la

See the clara() function from the cluster package. It scales fairly well to larger-sizes data sets. Cheers, Dylan On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 5:35 AM, Wesley Roberts wrote: > Hi Dan, > > Thanks for the advice. I want to classify my data into three classes; canopy, > non-canopy and ground based on s

Hi Dan, Thanks for the advice. I want to classify my data into three classes; canopy, non-canopy and ground based on six input variables. The input variables are mean, min, max, median, var, stdev, and kurtosis of spatially co-incident spectra associated with each segment. I have 1916 cases and

Dear R-sig-geo users, I have the output of a watershed segmentation in vector format (shapefile) which has it's attribute table populated with statistics regarding spectral reflectance of each polygon object. The attribute data was sourced from a geographically co-incident aerial photograph. I
