Not called by the user. } \usage{ pFlowClust(flowData,cl, K = 1:15, B.init = 100, tol.init = 0.01, tol = 1e-05, B = 1000, randomStart = 50, nu = 4, nu.est = 1, trans = 1, varNames = NA) } %- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here. \arguments{ \item{flowData}{ The data object, must be a flowFrame, flowSet or list of flowFrames } \item{cl}{The snow cluster object} \item{K}{ The number of clusters to try for each flowFrame. Can be a vector. This is what is parallelized across processors. } \item{B.init}{ See \code{flowClust} documentation } \item{tol.init}{ See \code{flowClust} documentation } \item{tol}{ See \code{flowClust} documentation } \item{B}{ See \code{flowClust} documentation } \item{randomStart}{ See \code{flowClust} documentation } \item{nu}{ See \code{flowClust} documentation } \item{nu.est}{ See \code{flowClust} documentation } \item{trans}{ See \code{flowClust} documentation } \item{varNames}{ See \code{flowClust} documentation } } \details{ Calls flowClust via the \code{clusterMap} method of the \code{snow} package. Parallelizes the computation of multiple components for a single flowFrame in a loop over multiple flowFrames. If the snow cluster is NULL, will make the call via mapply. } \value{ Returns a list of lists of flowClust objects The outer list corresponds to the flowFrames passed into the method. The inner list corresponds to the \code{K} cluster solutions passed into the method, for each \code{flowFrame} (ie If the input is a list of two flowFrames, and K=1:10, then the result is a list of length 2. Each element of the list is itself a list of length 10. The kth element of the inner list is the flowClust k cluster solution.) } \references{ Finak G, Bashasharti A, Brinkmann R, Gottardo R.
