Hi - Writing to see if someone can suggest whether a problem warrants a bug
report. It concerns the use of stepFlexclust in the flexclust package. The
problem concerns the size of clusters returned.

Versions: R-2.7.0 on Windows XP; RODBC_1.2-3

code snippet:
r8 <- stepFlexclust(df,8,nrep=100,FUN=kcca, family=kccaFamily("kmedians"))
summary(r8)  ## returns cluster sizes of 51, 115, 218, 73, 118, 140, 311,
and 118
trev <- data.frame(r8@cluster)
sqlSave(ch, trev, rownames="unitid")

in MySQL:
select r8cluster, count(*) from trev group by 1 order by 1   ## returns
cluster sizes of 51, 116, 217, 73, 117, 140, 312, 118

problem:
4 of the 8 clusters differ in sizes. They're close but I'd think they should
be exact.


So ... bug or not a bug? It'd be nice if I was just doing something wrong.

Thanks.

Gary
