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

Hi, How to plot the dendrogram or tree for kmeans, like we do for hclust ? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello All, I'm having some trouble figuring out what the clearest way to plot my k-means clustering result on an my existing MDS. First I performed MDS on my distance matrix (note: I performed k-means on the MDS coordinates because applying a euclidean distance measure to my raw data would have been inappropriate) canto.MDS<-cmdscale(canto) I then figured out what would be my optimum

Hello all, I am trying to create a Clustergram in R. (More about it here: http://www.schonlau.net/clustergram.html) And to produce a picture similar to what is seen here: http://www.schonlau.net/images/clustergramexample.gif I was able (more or less) to write the R code for creating the image, but there is one thing I can't seem to figure out, that is the *changing*"smudge factor"

I am using R 1.3.0 on Windows 2000. For an experiment, I am wanting to find the most diverse 400 items to study in a possible 3200 items. Diversity here is based on a few hundred attributes. For this, I would like to do a clustering analysis and find 400 clusters (i.e. different from each other in some way hopefully). From each of these 400 clusters, I will pick a representative. I expect

I'd like to be able to cut dendrograms at a height I specify and then plot the resulting subtrees. I wanted to use the dendrogram object for this purpose because there doesn't seem to be a canned way to cut a hclust object and get a list of hclust objects, but there is a function (cut) that does that for dendrograms. The problem I'm having is that when I plot a dendrogram, I

Hello, I have used the functions agnes and cutree to cluster my data (4977 objects x 22 variables) into 8 clusters. I would like to refine the solution using a k-means or similar algorithm, setting the initial cluster centres as the group means from agnes. However my data matrix has NA's in it and the function kmeans does not appear to accept this? > dim(centres) [1] 8 22 > dim(data)

Dear All, I have a data, suppose it is an N*M matrix data. All I want is to classify it into, let see, 3 classes. Which method(s) do you think is(are) appropriate for this purpose? Any reference will be welcome! Thanks! Best, Baoqiang Cao

I'm doing kmeans partitioning on a small (n=26) dataset that has 5 variables. I noticed that if I repeatedly run the same command, the cluster centers change and the cluster membership changes. Using RW1022 under Windows NT & Windows 2000 >kmeans(pottery[,1:5], 4, 20) [...snip] $size [1] 7 3 9 7 [...snip] $size [1] 7 10 4 5 [...snip] $size [1] 6 10 5 5 yields a different

Hi, this is rather a (presumed) bug report than a question because I can solve my personal statistical problem by working with hclust instead of agnes. I have done a complete linkage clustering on a dist object dm with 30 objects with agnes (R 1.8.0 on RedHat) and I want to obtain the partition that results from a cut at height=0.4. I run > cl1a <- agnes(dm, method="complete")

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",                       

I use kmeans to classify spectral events in high and low 1/3 octave bands: #Do cluster analysis CyclA<-data.frame(LlowA,LhghA) CntrA<-matrix(c(0.9,0.8,0.8,0.75,0.65,0.65), nrow = 3, ncol=2, byrow=TRUE) ClstA<-kmeans(CyclA,centers=CntrA,nstart=50,algorithm="MacQueen") This works well when the actual data shows 1,2 or 3 groups that are not "too close" in a cross plot.

I am trying to generate kmean of 10 clusters for a 165 x 165 matrix. i do not see any errors known to me. But I get this error on running the script Error: empty cluster: try a better set of initial centers the commands are M <-matrix(scan("R_mutual",n = 165 * 165),165,165,byrow = T) cl <- kmeans(M,centers=10,20) len = dim(M)[1] .... .... I ran the same script last night and

Hi, I have a gene expression experiment with 20 samples and 25000 genes each. I'd like to perform clustering on these. It turned out to become much faster when I transform the underlying matrix with t(matrix). Unfortunately then I'm not anymore able to use cutree to access individual clusters. In general I do something like this: hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave")

Hello, I've been clustering my data using hclust and cutting the resulting tree with cutree. Separately, I visualize the clusterings with heatmap. Is it possible to have the dendrogram on the heatmap reflect the cutree results? That is, instead of having one large dendrogram, it would have 4 or 25 in the example below. Any guidance on if that's possible or not, and what kinds of

Hi, I have the distance matrix computed and I feed it to hclust function. The plot function produces a dense dendrogram as well. But, the cutree function applied does not produce the desired list. Here is the code x=data.frame(similarity_matrix) colnames(x) = c(source_tags_vec) rownames(x) = c(source_tags_vec) clust_tree=hclust(as.dist(x),method="complete") plot(clust_tree)

Hello, I'm having trouble figuring out how to see resulting groups (clusters) from my hclust() output. I have a very large matrix of 4371 plots and 29 species, so simply looking at the graph is impossible. There must be a way to 'print' the results to a table that shows which plots were in what group, correct? I've attached the matrix I'm working with (the whole thing

howdy R friends, I've searched CRAN but to no avail... I'm trying to use mva's hclust and print out for say 10 clusters in batch. How do I do this? It's unclear if I can use cutree. thanks, John Strumila -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send
