similar to: Constructing Distance matrix for hclust

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)

Hi, I am trying fit certain data into Beta distribution. I get the error saying "Error in fitdist(discrete_random_variable_c, "beta", start = NULL, fix.arg = NULL) : the function mle failed to estimate the parameters, with the error code 100" Below is the sorted data that I am trying to fit. Where am I going wrong. Thanks a lot for any help. Vinod

Hi all, I am using R and JRI under Windows XP Pro. I am posting this question here since the reason might be R related (since I am running an R script) but there is also a very good chance that it is JRI only (since I am using the JRI interface to activate the script) -- in which case I want to apologize for misplacing this message. I have a method that instantiates an REngine object every time

The R function hclust is used to do cluster analysis, but based on R help I see no way to print the actual fusion distances (that is, the vertical distances for each connected branch pairs seen in the cluster dendrogram). Any ideas? I'd like to use them test for significant differences from the mean fusion distance (i.e. The Best Cut Test). To perform a cluster analysis I'm using: x

I've been trying to get plot.hclust to work with a hclust object I created and have not had much success. It seems that there is some "hidden" characteristic of a hclust object that I can't see. This is most easily seen in the following example, where plot.hclust works on one object, but when this object is "dumped" and then re-read, plot.hclust no longer works. Is

I could not figure out what was the default when I ran hclust() without specifying the method. For example: I just have a code like: hclust(dist(data)) Any input would be appreciated:) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello all, I'm now working with hclust objects and was hoping to perform some basic editing on them like: - Joining = the merging of two hclust objects (so they will share one root) - Splicing = So to cut/extract a branch out of an hclust object - that by itself will be an hclust object. I noticed I could extract one element of an hclust object by turning it into a dendrogram,

Hello, I would like to cut a hclust tree into several groups at a specific similarity. I assume this can be achieved by specifying the "h" argument with the specified similarity, e.g.: clust<-hclust(dist,"average") cut<-cutree(clust,h=0.65) Now, I would like to draw rectangles around the branches of the dendrogram highlighting the corresponding clusters, as is done by

Having some problems with using hclust.identify on my data, I revert to trying it out on the example in the help manual. My result is still the same (as with my own data): data(iris) hci <- hclust(dist(iris[,1:4])) plot(hci) testx<-identify.hclust(hci) Error in rect.hclust(x, k = k, x = x$x, cluster = cluster[, k - 1], border = "red") : k must be between 2 and 0

Hello, I am using the hclust function to cluster some data. I have two separate files with the same data. The only difference is the order of the data in the file. For some reason, when I run the two files through the hclust function, I get two completely different results. Does anyone know why this is happening? Does the order of the data matter? Thanks, RC -- View this message in

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

Hello, how can I get the similarity value (i.e., the inner cluster similarity) that was used to cut a hierarchical tree at a specific height? I would appreciate your help! Best regards, Madeleine

Good afternoon, I ran heatmap and hclust on the same matrix x (strictly, I ran heatmap(x), and hclust(dist(t(x))), and realized that the two dendrograms were slightly different, in that the left-right arrangement of one pair of subclusters (columns) was reversed in the two functions (but all individual columns were grouped correctly). Looking through the code for heatmap as a most definite

Hello! I have the following problem. I would like to plot the hclust object "hcd" (bellow, at the end of the mail) with ticks at seq(0.05,0.25,by=0.05). I tried using the code plot(hcd) and plot(hcd,axes=FALSE) axis(2,seq(0.05,0.25,by=0.05)) In both cases, the resoult is the same, ticks at 0.05 and 0.25 are not printed. I tried changing the ylim argumet in plot, however I got a

Dear R users, I have noted a difference in the merge distances given by hclust using centroid method. For the following data: x<-c(1009.9,1012.5,1011.1,1011.8,1009.3,1010.6) and using Euclidean distance, hclust using centroid method gives the following results: > x.dist<-dist(x) > x.aah<-hclust(x.dist,method="centroid") > x.aah$merge [,1] [,2] [1,] -3 -6

dear group members, I am looking for a function that assess the stability of cluster. The result of hclust function is an hclust object which can be plot as a dendrogram. However to have confidence in the tree topology usualy bootstap is applied. I understand that I can apply bootstarp on the original data and then run hclust(dist() ) as much as I resampled but how to comapre the topologies the I

Dear group, I am currently struggling with the following problem for a while: I want to create a list whose elements consists of lists themselves. More concise: The list elements are HCLUST objects. However, when I try to append the HCLUST objects to my list via: cluster_list <- append(cluster_list, HCLUSTobject) the HCLUST object is appended - but not as an object but as its components. So

I am doing a cluster analysis with hclust. I want to get hclust to output the Hotelling's T squared statistic for each cluster so I can evaluate is data points should be in a cluster or not. My research to answer this question has been unsuccessful. Does anyone know how to get hclust to output the Hotelling's T squared statistic for each cluster? Mike [[alternative HTML version

Dear R-users, I tried to receive the merge details of a clustering by using the summary function of hclust. For illustration I use the Longley data as done by Prof Ripley (Wed 11 Apr 2001) d <- dist(longley.y) d <- d/max(d) hc <- hclust(d, "ave") But instead of getting a matrix for $merge I get: >summary(hc) Length Class Mode merge 30 -none- numeric
