Dear R users, Version 0.7-1 of the amap package has been uploaded to CRAN. Amap package includes standard hierarchical clustering and k-means. We optimize implementation (with a parallelized hierarchical clustering) and allow the possibility of using different distances like Eulidean or Spearman (rank-based metric). We implement a principal component analysis (with robusts methods). News of version 0.7-1: a new method of clustering "optimal partiton" A major advantage of the method is that the number K of classes is computed from the data, and ONLY from the data. -- Antoine Lucas Centre de g??n??tique Mol??culaire, CNRS 91198 Gif sur Yvette Cedex Tel: (33)1 69 82 38 89 Fax: (33)1 69 82 38 77 _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages at stat.math.ethz.ch https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
