similar to: Cluster -- Agnes function

Hello, I had a question regarding clustering using the agnes() function from the 'cluster' package. I was wondering if anyone knew how I can identify cluster points after running the agnes function. For example, I created a dataset with points randomly scattered around (0,0), (0,1) and (1,0). After clustering, the dendrogram shows all the clustered points and I get the ordering and

I try to perform a clustering using an existing dissimilarity matrix that I calculated using distance (analogue) I tried two different things. One of them worked and one not and I don`t understand why. Here the code: not working example library(cluster) library(analogue) iris2<-as.data.frame(iris) str(iris2) 'data.frame': 150 obs. of 5 variables: $ Sepal.Length: num 5.1 4.9 4.7

Dear all, I am no stat wiz and I am just trying to use the AGNES algorithm at my very modest level of statistical of understanding. I have difficulties understanding the ouput from AGNES. My question is: how to interpret the output, especially how do you I know which cluster solution is the best? In SPSS, an Agglomeration Schedule table is produced and I used to look at the biggest jump between

Dear R Users: I am new to R and I am trying to do a cluster analysis on a single continuous variable using the Agnes [Agglomerative Nesting (Hierarchical Clustering) ] in the Package ‘cluster’. I was able to apply this clustering method to my data: ward1 <- Agnes(balances, diss= FALSE, metric = "euclidean", stand = TRUE, method = "ward", keep.diss =TRUE, keep.data =

Dear R users, I discovered something strange using the function agnes() of the cluster package on R 3.0.1 and on R 2.14.1. Indeed, the clusterings obtained are different whereas I ran exactly the same code. I quickly looked at the source code of the function and I discovered that there was an important change: agnes() in R 2.14.1 used a FORTRAN code whereas agnes() in R 3.0.1 uses a C code.

I haven't read the book, but could anyone explain more about this parameter? help(agnes) says that ac measures the amount of clustering structure found. From the definition given in help(agnes.object), however, it seems that as long as the dissimilarity of the merger in the final step of the algorithm is large enough, the ac value will be close to 1. So what does ac really mean? Thank

Hello, In the documentation for agnes in the package 'cluster', it says that NAs are allowed, and sure enough it works for a small example like : > m <- matrix(c( 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, NA, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2), nrow = 3, byrow = TRUE) > agnes(m) Call: agnes(x = m) Agglomerative coefficient: 0.1614168 Order of objects: [1] 1 2 3 Height (summary): Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd

Hi, I'm trying to use the cluster package and I'm having some trouble... I always get the message: > myagnes <- agnes("datafile.dat") > Error: could not find function "agnes" the package cluster is listed in the library() command, and I can reach the help files from Agnes as well I know that this can be some really easy thing to fix, but right now I have no

Hi, I'm mighty new to R. I'm using it on Windows. I'm trying to cluster using a distance matrix I created from the data on my own and called it D10.dist. I loaded the cluster package. Then tried the following command... > agnes("E:D10.dist", diss = TRUE, metric = "euclidean", stand = FALSE, > method = "average", par.method, keep.diss = n < 1000,

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")

The data "one" is a vector of 553 observations agglone<-agnes(one, metric = "manhattan", stand = TRUE) plot(agglone,which.plots=2, nmax=150) My problem is in the dendogram, I can not see the nodes because it is too crowded. I have attached the diagram. Any help is more than welcome. Thank you a lot!!!

Hello! I created a distances matrix for 13 objects using daisy (see the attached file). I am trying to clusteranalyse it using agnes but it's not working. What might be the problem: mydistances<-read.csv("Results of daisy.csv") mycluster<-agnes(mydistances, method="ward") I am getting: Error in agnes(mydistances, method = "ward") : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign

Hi, I want to know if there is a difference between the two hierarchical methods Agnes and hclust when there are used with the same method and the same metric on the same data! I ask this question because I executed the following program: hc <- hclust(dist(AGRIINSTTableFinaleCR), "ward") agnes<-agnes(dist(AGRIINSTTableFinaleCR),method="ward") And clusters are not the

Hello.

Hi all, I am creating dendrograms using agnes and was wondering if it is possible to add color to the leaves (and just the leaves). For example, in the documentation, they have an example using the "votes.repub" data set. If I wanted to make the word "Washington" green (and only Washington), is it possible and if so how? I can apply "summary" to the object

Hi , I want to assign names to the rows in my matrix so that when I use the 'agnes' function from R cluster package , the dendogram that is produced represents the rows of the matrix. This way I would know what elements in the matrix are clustered together. But when I do the following, rownames(distF) <- paste("A",dim(distF)[1]) it gives the following error; Error in

Dear R users, I am mailing you about the graphical output of silhouette (cluster package) From the example of silhouette in help(silhouette): > ar <- agnes(ruspini) > si3 <- silhouette(cutree(ar, k = 5), # k = 4 gave the same as pam() above + daisy(ruspini)) > plot(si3, nmax = 80, cex.names = 0.5) from which one may conclude that group 1 is composed by

Hi, I'd like to plot a tree with images of molecular structures instead of labels (words). I think this is possible because someone who worked in my office before I arrived did this. However I'm not sure if this person made the image manually or plotted it only with R. Thanks in advance for your help. -- View this message in context:
