+#' CLAWS: CLustering with wAvelets and Wer distanceS
#'
-#' @description Groups electricity power curves (or any series of similar nature) by applying PAM
-#' algorithm in parallel to chunks of size \code{nb_series_per_chunk}
+#' Cluster electricity power curves (or any series of similar nature) by applying a
+#' two stage procedure in parallel (see details).
+#' Input series must be sampled on the same time grid, no missing values.
#'
-#' @param data Access to the data, which can be of one of the three following types:
-#' \itemize{
-#' \item data.frame: each line contains its ID in the first cell, and all values after
-#' \item connection: any R connection object (e.g. a file) providing lines as described above
-#' \item function: a custom way to retrieve the curves; it has two arguments: the ranks to be
-#' retrieved, and the IDs - at least one of them must be present (priority: ranks).
+#' Summary of the function execution flow:
+#' \enumerate{
+#' \item Compute and serialize all contributions, obtained through discrete wavelet
+#' decomposition (see Antoniadis & al. [2013])
+#' \item Divide series into \code{ntasks} groups to process in parallel. In each task:
+#' \enumerate{
+#' \item iterate the first clustering algorithm on its aggregated outputs,
+#' on inputs of size \code{nb_items_clust}\cr
+#' -> K1 medoids indices
+#' \item optionally, if WER=="mix":\cr
+#' a. compute WER distances (K1xK1) between medoids\cr
+#' b. apply the 2nd clustering algorithm\cr
+#' -> K2 medoids indices
+#' }
+#' \item Launch a final task on the aggregated outputs of all previous tasks:
+#' ntasks*K1 if WER=="end", ntasks*K2 otherwise
+#' \item Compute synchrones (sum of series within each final group)
#' }
-#' @param K1 Number of super-consumers to be found after stage 1 (K1 << N)
+#'
+#' The main argument -- \code{series} -- has a quite misleading name, since it can be
+#' either a [big.]matrix, a CSV file, a connection or a user function to retrieve series.
+#' When \code{series} is given as a function it must take a single argument,
+#' 'indices': integer vector equal to the indices of the curves to retrieve;
+#' see SQLite example.
+#' WARNING: the return value must be a matrix (in columns), or NULL if no matches.
+#'
+#' Note: Since we don't make assumptions on initial data, there is a possibility that
+#' even when serialized, contributions do not fit in RAM. For example,
+#' 30e6 series of length 100,000 would lead to a +4Go contribution matrix. Therefore,
+#' it's safer to place these in (binary) files; that's what we do.
+#'
+#' @param series Access to the N (time-)series, which can be of one of the four
+#' following types:
+#' \itemize{
+#' \item [big.]matrix: each column contains the (time-ordered) values of one time-serie
+#' \item connection: any R connection object providing lines as described above
+#' \item character: name of a CSV file containing series in rows (no header)
+#' \item function: a custom way to retrieve the curves; it has only one argument:
+#' the indices of the series to be retrieved. See SQLite example
+#' }
+#' @param K1 Number of clusters to be found after stage 1 (K1 << N)
#' @param K2 Number of clusters to be found after stage 2 (K2 << K1)
-#' @param ntasks Number of tasks (parallel iterations to obtain K1 medoids); default: 1.
-#' Note: ntasks << N, so that N is "roughly divisible" by N (number of series)
-#' @param nb_series_per_chunk (Maximum) number of series in each group, inside a task
-#' @param min_series_per_chunk Minimum number of series in each group
-#' @param wf Wavelet transform filter; see ?wt.filter. Default: haar
-#' @param WER "end" to apply stage 2 after stage 1 has iterated and finished, or "mix"
-#' to apply it after every stage 1
-#' @param ncores_tasks "MPI" number of parallel tasks (1 to disable: sequential tasks)
-#' @param ncores_clust "OpenMP" number of parallel clusterings in one task
-#' @param random Randomize chunks repartition
-#' @param ... Other arguments to be passed to \code{data} function
+#' @param nb_series_per_chunk Number of series to retrieve in one batch
+#' @param nb_items_clust Number of items in 1st clustering algorithm input
+#' @param algoClust1 Clustering algorithm for stage 1. A function which takes (data, K)
+#' as argument where data is a matrix in columns and K the desired number of clusters,
+#' and outputs K medoids ranks. Default: PAM.
+#' @param algoClust2 Clustering algorithm for stage 2. A function which takes (dists, K)
+#' as argument where dists is a matrix of distances and K the desired number of clusters,
+#' and outputs K medoids ranks. Default: PAM.
+#' @param wav_filt Wavelet transform filter; see ?wavelets::wt.filter
+#' @param contrib_type Type of contribution: "relative", "logit" or "absolute" (any prefix)
+#' @param WER "end" to apply stage 2 after stage 1 has fully iterated, or "mix" to apply
+#' stage 2 at the end of each task
+#' @param smooth_lvl Smoothing level: odd integer, 1 == no smoothing.
+#' @param nvoice Number of voices within each octave for CWT computations
+#' @param random TRUE (default) for random chunks repartition
+#' @param ntasks Number of tasks (parallel iterations to obtain K1 [if WER=="end"]
+#' or K2 [if WER=="mix"] medoids); default: 1.
+#' Note: ntasks << N (number of series), so that N is "roughly divisible" by ntasks
+#' @param ncores_tasks Number of parallel tasks ('1' == sequential tasks)
+#' @param ncores_clust Number of parallel clusterings in one task
+#' @param sep Separator in CSV input file (if any provided)
+#' @param nbytes 4 or 8 bytes to (de)serialize a floating-point number
+#' @param endian Endianness for (de)serialization: "little" or "big"
+#' @param verbose FALSE: nothing printed; TRUE: some execution traces
+#'
+#' @return A list:
+#' \itemize{
+#' \item medoids: matrix of the final K2 medoids curves
+#' \item ranks: corresponding indices in the dataset
+#' \item synchrones: sum of series within each final group
+#' }
