Hi there, is it possible in r to use the Initial partition established by using the HAC partition with the kmean clustering? E.g. perform the HCA, write the cluster affiliation in a seperate column> DF$hclus.label <- assignCluster(model.matrix(~-1 + A15 + B12 + C70 + E14 ++ H61 + N56 + P48 + T69 + W32 + Y43, DF), DF, cutree(HClust.1, k = 3) -> use this as initial partition in the Kmeans I have checked several tuts and formums and could not find a workaround. Thanks for your help Anthony -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/HCA-and-KMEANS-tp2042977p2042977.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
