It generates nested donuts, which are just hollow circles. For flexible testing, the parameter k controls the number of circles of varying radii where n controls the number of observations for each circle.

genDONUTS(n = 50, k = 2, sd = 0.1)

Arguments

n

the number of data points for each hollow circle (default: 50).

k

the number of circles (default: 2).

sd

magnitude of white noise (default: 0.1).

Value

a named list containing with \(m = nk\):

data

an \((m\times 2)\) data matrix.

label

a length-\(m\) vector(factor) for class labels.

Examples

# \donttest{ ## generate data donut2 = genDONUTS(k=2) donut3 = genDONUTS(k=3) donut4 = genDONUTS(k=4) ## visualize opar <- par(no.readonly=TRUE) par(mfrow=c(1,3), pty="s") plot(donut2$data, col=donut2$label, pch=19, main="k=2") plot(donut3$data, col=donut3$label, pch=19, main="k=3") plot(donut4$data, col=donut4$label, pch=19, main="k=4")
par(opar) # }
