Dear list, I just tried to use the function cluster.stat in the package fpc. I just have a couple of questions about the syntax: cluster.stats(d,clustering,alt.clustering=NULL, silhouette=TRUE,G2=FALSE,G3=FALSE) 1) the distance object (d) is an object obtained by the function dist() on my own original matrix? 2) clustering is the clusters vector as result of one of the many clustering methods?

Hi list, is there any direct way to obtain confidence intervals for the regression slope from lm, predict.lm or the like? (If not, is there any reason? This is also missing in some other statistics softwares, and I thought this would be quite a standard application.) I know that it's easy to implement but it's for explanation to people who faint if they have to do their own programming...

Hi there, is there any R-function for k-nearest neighbour agglomerative hierarchical clustering? By this I mean standard agglomerative hierarchical clustering as in hclust or agnes, but with the k-nearest neighbour distance between clusters used on the higher levels where there are at least k>1 distances between two clusters (single linkage is 1-nearest neighbour clustering)? Best regards,

Hi, I wanted the DICE coefficient (similarity measure for binary variables) to be calculated in R and found that the "igraph" package has the option of "similarity.dice" to do this. But, for this command, the input object should be an igraph object. But, I have a dataframe of columns containing 1's and 0's. Can I convert this dataframe into an igraph object, so that

Dear All, a long time ago I ran a cluster analysis where the dissimilarity matrix used consisted of Dmax (or Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance) values. In other words the maximum difference between two cumulative proportion curves. This all worked very well indeed. The matrix was calculated using Dbase III+ and took a day and a half and the clustering was done using MV-ARCH, with the resultant

Hi everybody, I'd like to know if there's an easy way for extracting outliers record from a dataset, in order to perform further analysis on them. Thanks Alessandro

Dear listers: Here I have a question on clustering methods available in R. I am trying to down-sampling the majority class in a classification problem on an imbalanced dataset. Since I don't want to lose information in the original dataset, I don't want to use naive down-sampling: I think using clustering on the majority class' side to select "representative" samples might

Hello all, I am using the clustering functions in R in order to work with large masses of binary time series data, however the clustering functions do not seem able to fit this size of practical problem. Library 'hclust' is good (though it may be sub par for this size of problem, thus doubly poor for this application) in that I do not want to make assumptions about the number of

Hi, I like to present the results from the clustering method k-means in terms of variances: within and between Cluster. The k-means object gives only the within cluster sum of squares by cluster, so the between variance part is missing,for calculation the following table, which I try to get. Number of | Variance within | Var between | Var total | F-value Cluster k | cluster | cluster

Dear list, R CMD check on my updated package now generated the following error: "LaTeX errors when creating DVI version. This typically indicates Rd problems." But the Rd files (and everything else) were checked as "OK" (I removed the problem about which I asked the list some hours ago, but answers are still appreciated because I rather created a rough workaround than

Dear list, I came across the following error for three of my newly written Rd-files: non-ASCII input and no declared encoding I can't make sense of this. Below I copied in one of the three files. Can anybody please tell me what's wrong with it? Thank you, Christian \name{tetragonula} \alias{tetragonula} \alias{tetragonula.coord} \docType{data} % \non_function{} \title{Microsatellite

Hi, I have a dataset which has around 138 variables and 30,000 cases. I am trying to calculate a mahalanobis distance matrix for them and my procedure is like this: Suppose my data is stored in mymatrix > S<-cov(mymatrix) # this is fine > D<-sapply(1:nrow(mymatrix), function(i) mahalanobis(mymatrix, mymatrix[i,], S)) Error in solve.default(cov, ...) : system is computationally

hi r-help, i am doing kmeans clustering in stats. i tried for five clusters clustering using: kcl1 <- kmeans(as1[,c("contlife","somlife","agglife","sexlife",                         "rellife","hordlife","doutlife","symtlife","washlife",                       

Dear Listers, I emailed the list a few days ago about how to bootstrap a community matrix (species by sites) and get a consensus tree with node support. A friend pointed out that a similar question remained unanswered in 2004. I wish to re-word my question: is anyone aware of a package / method to obtain a majority-rule consensus tree from x distance matrices ? Is anyone using R to generate

Hi there, I just tried to install the package prabclus on a computer running Ubuntu Linux 9.04 using install.packages from within R. This gave me a message: Warning message: In install.packages("prabclus") : package ?prabclus? is not available I tried to do this selecting two different CRAN mirrors (same result) and with other packages (installing them works fine). Looking up the

Hi all, I wanted to run the hclust (or any other clustering algorithm) on a distance matrix. I have formed the distance matrix as: distmat: a b c d e a 0.00 0.96 1.60 1.60 1.68 b 0.96 0.00 0.96 1.80 2.64 c 1.60 0.96 0.00 0.84 1.80 d 1.60 1.80 0.84 0.00 0.96 e 1.68 2.64 1.80 0.96 0.00

Hello everyone, I need to do k-medoids clustering for data which consists of 50,000 observations. I have computed distances between the observations separately and tried to use those with pam(). I got the "cannot allocate vector of length" error and I realize this job is too memory intensive. I am at a bit of a loss on what to do at this point. I can't use clara(), because I

Dear R users, I am interested in clustering in R. In SAS we have some criteria for determining the number of clusters using the PROC CLUSTER procedure, which are "CCC" cubic clustering criterion (Sarl 1981), Psuedo F (PSF), and Psuedo T square (PST). My question is do thsese criterion exists in R, I tried to search and got one hit (BIC) in Mclust, which I am aware of, any input is

Hello everyone I am trying to use CLARA method for finding clusters in my spatial surface temperature data and noticed one problem. My data are in the form lat,lon,temperature. I extract lat,lon and cluster number for each point in the dataset. When I plotted a map of cluster numbers I found empty areas in the map. The point is that the number of points that were assigned a cluster number are

Hello, I am using the dunn metric, but something is wrong and I dont understand what or what that this error mean. Please can you help me with this? The instructions are: #Indice de Dunn disbupa=dist(bupa[,1:6]) a=hclust(disbupa) cluster.stats(disbupa,a,bupa[,7])$dunn And the error is: Error in max(clustering) : invalid 'type' (list) of argument thank you so much.
