All, I am new to the world of statistics. I am interested in finding out the validation techniques employed on a cluster analysis. Any point of reference or site would be helpful. I have read about the clValid package and usage of the function on cluster.stats() in the fpc package. Thanks in Advance, Harmeet PS: I have marked this mail to both help and devel list. Is it ok? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
You could look at silhouette width in, I think, the cluster package. Please excuse my brevity; this message was sent from my telephone.

Hi Harmeet, Welcome to R-help but I think you are here too soon. This is a list for helping people do things in R once they have some idea of what tey need to do in terms of statistics etc. There are mobs of stats experts here but this not the list you should be asking in unless I am misunderstanding you. I'd suggest reading some texts on cluster analysis and enquiring in http://stats.stackexchange.com/ for some opinions and help. If I misunderstood where you are at in your project and need concrete advice on packages, please excuse me. If I did misunderstand then you might find http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example and http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Reproducibility.html useful resources on how to frame questions here.
