Input Argument Requirements

[hsanderhill]

Hi Guys,

Again I would like to thank you for the great work with KlustaKwik. I have been batch clustering from MATLAB and I've encountered an issue while testing clustering in command prompt as well. It seems that you cannot enter the MaximumPossibleClusters argument alone to select the starting random seed points without also entering the Minimum and Maximum Clusters as well, otherwise KlustaKwik crashes.

Am I to understand that the EM algorithm starts with MaximumPossibleClusters number of mult-dimensional gaussians and quits when MaximumClusters has been reached or a better fit has been achieved before? Could you not have a case where if MaximumPossibleClusters is entered alone then by default you set a MinimumClusters and match MaximumClusters to the same value ? Or otherwise could you add some lines in the documentation to specify which arguments have to be given in conjunction with others.
