[R] SAS-like cluster statistics for ward's minimum variance method
Hi all, I am looking for an easy way to compute statistics out of my cluster analysis using ward's method. Ideally it would be a table like that one http://www.tau.ac.il/cc/pages/docs/sas8/stat/chap23/sect2.htm#clug2 with various validation statistics for the last few number of clusters. The diagnostic I'm the more interested in is the R-squared which represents the variance explained. Is there a function doing this directly? If not, Is there a way to convert the height into R^2 and an easy way to extract the height for each number of cluster? Thanks in advance, Katell -- Katell Hamon Ph.D. Student TAFI ?
