similar to: silhouette: clustering labels have to be consecutive intergers starting from 1?

Dear all, I am trying (without much success) to use the fuction 'silhouette'. Would anyone encountered that before (or would know where I am wrong ?) Please find below the R ouput. Thanks in advance, L. > s <- silhouette(ct, as.dist(metric)) Error in "[<-"(*tmp*, iC, "sil_width", value = s.i) : number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement

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

I'm fairly new to the silhouette functionality in the cluster package, so apologize if I'm asking something naive. If I run the 'agnes(ruspini)' example from the silhouette section of the cluster package vignette, and assign colours to clusters, two clusters have what appear to be incorrect colours in the silhouette plot. library(cluster) data(ruspini) ar<- agnes(ruspini)

After ordering the table of membership degrees , i must get the difference between the first and second coloumns , between the first and second largest membership degree of object i. This for K=2,K=3,....to K.max=6. This difference is multiplyed by the Crisp silhouette index vector (si). Too it dependending on K=2,...,K.max=6; the result divided by the sum of these differences I need a final

Hello all, This might have been fixed in later versions (I am using R1.7.0), r-help archive contains messages reporting similar problems but no reports of codes fixes. I have encountered a couple of problems using the silhouette function. one occurs when the clustering contains clusters composed of 1 element (Martin Maechler posted code few months ago that fixes a similar problem that occurs

Dear All, I am using Silhouette to estimate the number of clusters in a microarray dataset. Initially, I used the iris data to test my piece of code as follows: library(cluster) data(iris) mydata<-iris[,1:4] maxk<-15 # at most 15 clusters myindex<-rep(0,maxk) # hold the si values for each k clusters mdist<-1-cor(t(mydata)) #dissimlarity

Hi, I am using code below to get a plot that will show me on the X axis the number of clusters and on the Y axis the cluster average widths. However I am getting this error: Error in summary(silhouette(cutree(d, x), dist(iris[, -5])))$si.summary : $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors the code I am using is: avgs<-sapply(1:20,function(x) summary(silhouette(cutree(d,x),

Hi! >library(cluster) In this lib a function called silhoutte.default is defined than on the R prompt it type >silhouette.default Error: Object "silhouette.default" not found R1.9.0 The same error are at R1.8.1 And I knew that a function silhoutte.default are present. But the same piece of code works in R1.6.2 ??? Eryk Dipl. bio-chem. Eryk Witold Wolski @

Hello, In cluster analysis with cluster, how does one colour the silhouette plots ? For example in using pam. There seems to be some problem there. Everything else can be coloured. Thanks, A. Mani Member, Cal. Math. Soc

I was trying to create a multi-color silhouette plot (each cluster a different color) from clusters created by trimkmeans. This works straighforwardly on an object created from pam however my colors are interwoven when I try the same approach on clusters from trimkmeans. I also tried sorting the silhouette object using sortSilhouette which did not solve the problem. If anyone has a suggestion,

Dear All, Is there any existing code for plotting silhouette for kmeans clustering results? Many thanks! Linda [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

hello, i'm pete ,how can i order rows of matrix by max to min value? I have a matrix of membership degrees, with 82 (i) rows and K coloumns, K are clusters. I need first and second largest elements of the i-th row. for example 1 0.66 0.04 0.01 0.30 2 0.02 0.89 0.09 0.00 3 0.06 0.92 0.01 0.01 4 0.07 0.71 0.21 0.01 5 0.10 0.85 0.04 0.01 6 0.91 0.04 0.02 0.02 7 0.00 0.01 0.98 0.00 8 0.02

Hello everybody: I have just started using R, specifically the clustering packages. Despite the vastness of the functionality of the system, I have found it very flexible and intuitive. It has been great fun to experiment with it. Nevertheless, I am under tight time constraints to complete a cluster analysis of some data and need to come up with a "quick" solution for the following

Hi, I am using fanny and I have estrange results. I am wondering if someone out there can help me understand why this happens. First of all in most of my tries, it gives me a result in which each object has equal membership in all clusters. I have read that that means "the clustering is entirely fuzzy". Looking at the graphics it is really difficult to understand how objects with so

Hi Being able to do object oriented programming in R is really good. I now started using the Reference Classes and really like it. Though, I have one problem: I cannot find a way to update a method on an existing object. The flexibility that scripting gives (really needed for interactive data analysis) is lost if everything have to be recalculated all the time. For example I would normally

Dear R users, Just wondering how to extract clustered data in a file. More precisely after running any clustering algorithms, you get information about the clusterd vectors. I want to save that data after clustering is done in the same order as the clusters are produced. How can I do that After runining algorithms you get information which vectors are clustered. for example, after running pam you

Sorry for the long message. I'm doing my best to try to explain myself. I have fitted a spline to my data, I have fitted a spline, filled in the missing data by replicating the spline coefficients associated to the last node. I obtained a number of dendograms by different combination of distance and link-method by calling DIST and AGNES. The agglomerative coefficient is very high (~ 0.99) for

List, In order to get rid of some old, unreadable S3 code in package sp, I'm trying to rewrite things using S4 methods. Somewhere I fail, and I cannot sort out why. In order to isolate the problem, I created two functions, doNothing<- and dosth, and both should do nothing. The issue is that in most cases they do nothing, but in some cases dosth(obj) changes the class of obj and breaks with

I tried using colours in silhouette plots by specifying a vector of colours instead of the default "gray" for the col parameter. No bars are drawn, though the rest of the plot works as it did with the grey bars. On investigating cluster:::plot.silhouette, I came across this part: if (do.col.sort && (lc <- length(col)) > 1) { if (lc == k) col <-
