Performs PAM clustering with tidy output
Usage
tidy_pam(data, k, metric = "euclidean", cols = NULL)
Arguments
- data
A data frame, tibble, or dist object
- k
Number of clusters
- metric
Distance metric (default: "euclidean").
Use "gower" for mixed data types.
- cols
Columns to include (tidy select). If NULL, uses all columns.
Value
A list of class "tidy_pam" containing:
clusters: tibble with observation IDs and cluster assignments
medoids: tibble of medoid indices and values
silhouette: average silhouette width
model: original pam object
Examples
# PAM with Euclidean distance
pam_result <- tidy_pam(iris, k = 3)
# PAM with Gower distance for mixed data
pam_result <- tidy_pam(mtcars, k = 3, metric = "gower")
