similar to: rect.hclust fails when k is specified (PR#6740)

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

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 am doing cluster analysis [hclust(Dist, method="average")] on data that potentially contains redundant objects. As expected, the inclusion of redundant objects affects the clustering result, i.e., the data a1, = a2, = a3, b, c, d, e1, = e2 is likely to cluster differently from the same data without the redundancy, i.e., a1, b, c, d, e1. This is apparent when the outcome is visualized

library(mva) data(USArrests) hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave") plot(hc) # OK dump(c("hc"), "tst") rm(hc) source("tst") plot(hc) # Error in plot.hclust(hc) : invalid dendrogram input The same problem occurs with dput/dget --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform =

Hi! I am newbee to R and I am facing the problem in plotting the dedrogram with lot of objects. The lines and labels are overlapped very badly, and writing the graphic to postscript and zooming there is not helping either. I tried cut.dendrogram method, but getting the error that it doesn't exist even though I get the man pages for it. I would not find any solution in web as well, and I

Hi When I use plot(hclust(dist..)...)...) etc to create a dendrogram of a hierarchial cluster analysis, I end up with a vertical tree. What do I need to do to get a horizontal tree? Also, my users are used to seeing trees who's leaves all "end" at the same place (eg. Like in minitab). Is this possible in R? Thanks Mick Michael Watson Head of Informatics Institute for Animal

Dear R-Help, I have a clustering problem with hclust that I hope someone can help me with. Consider the classic hclust example: hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave") plot(hc) I would like to cut the tree up in such a way so as to avoid small clusters, so that we get a minimum number of items in each cluster, and therefore avoid singletons. e.g. in this example, you can see

I have a data set with 6 variables and 251 cases. The people who supplied me with this data set believe that it falls naturally into three groups, and have given me a rule for determining group number from these 6 variables. If I do scaled.stuff <- scale(stuff, TRUE, c(...the design ranges...)) stuff.dist <- dist(scaled.stuff) stuff.hc <- hclust(stuff.dist)

Buenas tardes a todos, Estoy interesado en cambiar los límites del eje y en un dendograma construído utilizando la función hclust(). A continuación un ejemplo: hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave") plot(hc) Hasta aquí todo bien. Si quisiera cambiar los límites del eje "y" de c(0, 200)? Al usar plot(hc, ylim = c(0, 200)) no observo efecto alguno. Qué puedo hacer?

Hi R helpers... I am having troubles because of the discrepancy between the dendrogram plotted from hclust and what is wrote in the hc2Newick file. I've got a matrix C: > hc <- hclust(dist(C)) > plot(hc) with the: > write(hc2Newick(hc),file='test.newick') both things draw completely different "trees"... I have also tried with the raw distance matrix D and

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 new to clustering in R and I have a dataset with approximately 17,000 rows and 8 columns with each data point a numerical character with three decimal places. I would like to cluster the 8 columns so that I get a dendrogram as an output. So, I am simply creating a distance matrix of my data, using the 'hclust' function, and then plotting the results (see below, my data is

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

I've found that while cutree() and rect.hclust() make the same classes for a given height in the dendrogram, the actual labeling of the classes is different. For example, both produce the same 4 classes but class 1 according to cutree() is class 4 according to rect.hclust(). Would it be possible that future versions provide the same labeling? rect.hclust() is useful to display the classes

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

Hi I have a distance matrix which is computed by user defined method. I would like to plot the dendrogram. I would like to use different color and want the leaves laying down bottom. The script like this. I am not familiar with R. I followed the example shown in http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/stats/html/dendrogram.html dist.obj <- as.dist(matrix.distance) hc.obj <-

Thanks to Andy and Thomas, Reading help(hclust) more carefully would have done it but sometimes you do not see the wood for the trees... So hc$merge does exactly what I want. I have never been aware of the command str to get the structure of an R-object. It seems pretty useful to me.

Has anyone successfully created a PNG file for a dendrogram? I am able to successfully launch and view a dendrogram in Quartz. However, the dendrogram is quite large (too large to read on a computer screen), so I am trying to save it to a file (1000x4000 pixels) for viewing in other apps. However, whenever I try to initiate a PNG device, I get a "need finitite 'xlim' values"

Hi All: I am clustering 500 genes using hclust of R. Visualizing cluster membership becomes difficult with so many genes in each cluster...Is there a way of printing the dendrogram in multiple pages so that I can clearly see what is in each cluster? Thanks in advance. Karthi.
