Hi all,
I am a real novice to R. :)
I am struggling with a problem for generating colored dendrogram. I have
searched the R list and complied/collected a R code which can generated a
colored dendrogram based on the rainbow color and 4x4 similarity matrix (say
matrix:m).
In this dendrogram, each leaf is colored differently. But, I do not want the
leaf colored on a random basis. I want to assign color for leaf on basis of
some criterion.
My actual problem: How to generate a dendrogram with the leaf colored
according to the values in the second matrix (which is 4x1 dim, say matrix
c)? Meaning, the leaf 1 and 2 should be colored in neighboring spectra of
color (say different shade of red) and leaf 3 and 4 in a different color
(say different shade of blue)
Below is R code and data matrix
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
