PDL::OpenCV wraps a kmeans function, so that might also help.
Best regards,

Subject: Re: [Pdl-general] getting started with K-means
Hi Aldo,
The documentation is pretty good. You can change the number of clusters like so
my $k = $pdl->kmeans( {NCLUS => 10} );
There are also a few blog posts that show some of the process from a learners'
perspective
https://blogs.perl.org/users/enkidu/2019/12/its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-k-means.html
There's not a lot of examples out there, so if you can blog your experience
(good or bad), that'll add to the available docs for the next person.
dev.to<http://dev.to> gets a lot of exposure these days.
best of luck,
Boyd

my problem area is to analyse electrical power switching events and tie back
readings of reactive and resistive loads aiming to point back at specific items

So I thought cluster analysis and got a steer towards PDL
In a perl script I write
use PDL::Stats::KMeans;
...
my $sql = "select resistv_chg,reactv_chg from metered_events where
matched_event_id is not null";
my $pdl = rdbi2D( $dbh, $sql ); # pdl info tells me that i have a 2D array of
~ 1400 x 2
my $k = $pdl->kmeans( {} );
First up I see that this is not unrestrained -- the default of NCLUS is 3 and
[seems to me] that I am being defeated in trying to identify between 10 and 20
clusters associated with the electrical characteristics of the 10 - 20 items in
my plant
being a simple minded chap all I want is an array[10] of mean and stdvars for
the data set
Could anybody spare the time to get me started?
Aldo
