Compute within sum of squares from PAM cluster analysis in R -
i working on cluster analysis pam in r. computed gower distance data vegdist() , computing cluster variable pam() works well. need measure determine right k. method know visually compare within sum of squares different ks. how can fetch wss series of pam iterations compare sums in plot, analogously example kmeans? http://rstudio-pubs-static.s3.amazonaws.com/137758_a80b40255fdd440ab76b41a646a6c482.html#loops
pam not optimize wss. wss k-means objective.
instead, use pam objective (maybe called td in literature?)
see ?[pam.object][1]
objective
field:
objective
the objective function after first , second step of pam algorithm.
beware similar wss, objective
supposed decrease increasing k. can't choose minimum, should knee in plot.
because pam randomized, may want run each k multiple times, , keep best result only.
