similar to: Agnes and Hclust

A small comment: The code of Agnes is written in Fortran. Following book give more details: Kaufman, L. and Rousseeuw, P.J. (1990). _Finding Groups in Data: An Introduction to Cluster Analysis_. Wiley, New York. The 'hclust' function is based an Algorithm contributed to STATLIB by F. Murtagh and the code is written in C. Probably the differences between agnes and hclust causes

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

Dear R community, I am trying to understand how the ward linkage works from a quantitative point of view. To test it I have devised a simple 3-members set: G = c(0,2,10) The distances between all couples are: d(0,2) = 2 d(0,10) = 10 d(2,10) = 8 The smallest distance corresponds to merging 0 and 2. The corresponding ESS are: ESS(0,2) = 2*var(c(0,2)) = 4 ESS(0,10)

Dear R Helpers, I read carefully the documentation and all postings on the hclust and cutree functions, however some aspects of the tree ordering and cluster assignment performed by these functions remain unclear to me, so I would very much appreciate your help in making sure I get them right. Here is an example, with values chosen to illustrate the problems. I have a set of five profiles

I use the following code to scan a (limited) parameter space of clustering strategies ... data <- read.table(... dataTranspose <- t(data) distMeth <- c("euclidean", "maximum", "manhattan", "canberra", "binary" ) clustMeth <- c("ward",

Hi everybody, I have a problem with a cluster analysis. I am trying to use hclust, method=ward. The Ward method works with SQUARED Euclidean distances. Hclust demands "a dissimilarity structure as produced by dist". Yet, dist does not seem to produce a table of squared euclidean distances, starting from cosines. In fact, computing manually the squared euclidean distances from cosines

Hi, Is there a equivalent of the function "eboulis()" (which is a new funtion on Splus) on R? Otherwise, with which function can we see the best number of cluster we have to choose? Thanks in advance, Nicolas BOUGET

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")

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 =

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)

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

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

This worked for me with your example: source("dumpdata.R") storage.mode(x.hc$merge) <- "integer" plot(x.hc) (R-1.4.1 compiled from source on WinNT4.)

Good afternoon, After cuting a hierarchical tree using cutree(), how to check correspondances between classes and branches? This is what we do: srndpchc <- hclust(dist(srndpc$x[1:1000,1:3]),method="ward") #creation of hierarchical tree plclust(srndpchc,hmin=20000) #visualisation srndpchc20000 = cutree(srndpchc,h=20000) #returns 4 classes table(srndpchc20000 ) srndclass20000 =

Hi, I'm doing hierarchical clustering, and want to export my dendrogram to a tree-viewing/editing software. I can do this by converting the data to Newick format (hc2Newick in ctc package), but I can't get branch lengths to show in the resulting phylogram. I figured it might help to convert my hclust object into a phylo object (as.phylo in ape package), but the following lines give me

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, I analyse some free-sorting data so I use hierarchical clustering. I want to compare my proximity matrix with the tree representation to evalute the fitting. (stress, cophenetic correlation (pearson's correlation)...) "The cophenetic similarity of two objects a and b is defined as the similarity level at wich objects a and b become members of the same cluster during the course of

Hi all, The function heatmap uses the functions dist and hclust with default parameters. How to change these parameters? For example, i want to use the ward criterion for hierarchical clustering with binary distance. Best regards, Olivier.
