similar to: silhouette plot for kmeans result

Dear All , Since dissimilarity is one of quality measures in clustering , I'm trying to access to the sum of dissimilarity as a whole measure. But after running my data using CLARA I obtain : 1128 dissimilarities, summarized : Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 0.033155 0.934630 2.257000 2.941600 4.876600 8.943700 But I can not find the sum of dissimilarity.How can i

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)

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

Hi list, When I was using 'silhouette' from the 'cluster' package to calculate clustering performances, R crashed. I traced the problem to the fact that my clustering labels only have 2's and 3's. when I replaced them with 1's and 2's, the problem was solved. Is the function purposely written in this way so when I have clustering labels, "2" and

Hello, I'm playing around with cluster analysis, and am looking for methods to select the number of clusters. I am aware of methods based on a 'pseudo F' or a 'pseudo T^2'. Are there packages in R that will generate these statistics, and/or other statistics to aid in cluster number selection? Thanks, John. --

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,

Hi there, I use function "kmeans" and "clara" to cluster one flow cytometry dataset. By using function "plot", the clusters got from "clara" can be graphed, while "kmeans" not. How can I get the plot of the clusters of "kmeans"? And, I hope to compare the two methods "kmeans" and "clara", or in other word, I

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

I don't know if there is some fault in compiling or a bug of the new R-1.7.0 version: cl.pam.2 <- pam(as.dist(1-cor(mel.data)),2) plot(cl.pam.2) perform a right partitioning and silhouette plot on the old R-1.6.2 instead "Error in clusplot.default(x$diss,...... ; x is not numeric" is the output on the new R-1.7.0. Same platform: RH8.0 i686. Some suggestions? A.S.

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

Hello, I've recently finished with an implementation of KMeans with two initialization techniques, random initialization and KMeans++. I would like to share my findings after evaluating the same. I have tested this implementation of KMeans with a BBC news article dataset. I am currently working on evaluating the same with FIRE datasets. Currently, clustering more than 500 documents

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

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 <-
