clustring with the same number of point inside each cluster

9 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have x and y coordinate of a set of points resulting in matrix X. As I know, idx = kmeans(X,k) is designed in a way that I can fix the number of clusters to k. However, I want to fix an additional parameter too. I want to fix the number of points inside each cluster too.
Let me give a simple example. Assume we have 99 points (and thier x and y coordinate in matrix X). Also, we know that there should be 11 clusters (that is k) and each one of clusters should contains 9 points inside. Do you have any ideas how I can force MATLAB to put exactly 9 points inside each cluster? It would be nice if it can be also shown as plot or gscatter. Thanks

For example, assume the following code. Is it possible to have 11 clusters there (each with exactly 9 points inside)?
n=99;
x = randi([0 1000],n,1);
y = randi([0 1000],n,1);
all_xy=[x,y];
[idx,C] = kmeans(all_xy,11);
[~,idx] = pdist2(C,all_xy,'euclidean','Smallest',1);
gscatter(all_xy(:,1),all_xy(:,2),idx)
for i=1:n
text(all_xy(i,1),all_xy(i,2),num2str(idx(i)));hold on;
end

Dear User,
As per my understanding you are able to use the k-means function in MATLAB, but you seek a functionality to fix number of points in each cluster as well. I would like to inform that such a functionality is not available right now with k-means functions. We, have recorded your issue and such a functionality might be available in upcoming releases.
