Hello, I'm starting to use CLUE to compare clusterings. I have some cluster structures obtained outside R, which are simlply vectors of lenght N (N: number of objects), which contain a number indicating the cluster to which each object belongs. I report below a portion of one of these: ------------ V1 1 12 2 1 3 2 4 6 5 15 6 9 7 5 8 8 9 12 10 9 11 10 12 2 13 7 14 12 15 10 --------- which indicates that object 1 is in cluster "12", object 2 is in cluster "1" etc. Is there a way to evaluate the dissimilarity of clusterings of this sort without transforming them into "ensembles" or, alternatively, is there a way to turn these vectors into "ensembles" Thanks a lot!
