similar to: to search the tree using the branch and bound mathod!!!

hi, R users here is my problem, i want to make a clusterring tree, than do the searching through the tree using branch and bound method. the code to make the tree, but i dont know how to do the searching part. thanks for any helping... d <- dist(data, method = "euclidean") h1 <- hclust(d, method="ward") str(h1) plot(h1) mark -- View this message in context:

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 everyone! My data is composed of 277 individuals measured on 8 binary variables (1=yes, 2=no). I did two similar cluster analyses, one on SPSS 18.0 and one on R 2.9.2. The objective is to have the means for each variable per retained cluster. 1) the R analysis ran as followed: > call data > dist=dist(data,method="euclidean") >

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

The R function hclust is used to do cluster analysis, but based on R help I see no way to print the actual fusion distances (that is, the vertical distances for each connected branch pairs seen in the cluster dendrogram). Any ideas? I'd like to use them test for significant differences from the mean fusion distance (i.e. The Best Cut Test). To perform a cluster analysis I'm using: x

Hello, I have trouble with a data set that comprises 2136 lines of 20 columns. I would like to do a hierarchical clustering and I tried the following: ages.hclust <- hclust(dist(ages, method="euclidean"), "ward") but I get the following error message: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 17797 Kb When I try to do the dist() alone first without the hclust(), I get the

kmeans and clara work great. Thank you for the tip. I have another question: Is it possible to weight the observations in a cluster analysis ? I haven't found any mention of this in the kmeans of clara help texts.

Hello I have a large dataset to make a cluster analysis and I'm trying to use Rclusterpp to do so. Nevertheless in a sample matrix analysis (see http://dl.dropbox.com/u/755659/gillnet.txt) I'm getting different results from Rclusterpp and hclust. Following the example from "An Introduction to Rclusterpp" (

I would like to get an hierarchical clustering tree with bootstrap values indicated on the nodes, as in pvclust. The problem is that I have only distance matrix instead of the raw data, required for pvclust. Is there a way to get it? fit1 <- hclust(dist) # an object of class '"dist" plot(fit1) # dendogram without p values library(pvclust) fit2 <- pvclust(raw.data,

Hi all I am trying to perform the follwing: fit<-pvclust(wq, method.hclust="ward", method.dist="euclidean") but get a strange error message that I just cant figure out. Has anyone come across this? Any help would be most appricieated Error in hclust(distance, method = method.hclust) : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 11) In addition: Warning message: NAs

Hi all! I'm new to R and don't know many about it. Because it is free, I managed to learn it a little bit. Here is my problem: I did a cluster analysis on 30 observations and 16 variables (monde, figaro, liberation, etc.). Here is the .txt data file:

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",

Dear R-Help-Team, I would like to cluster my data using the ward-method. In several papers I read (e.g. Bahrenberg) that it is neccesary to use the "squared euclidean distance" with the ward-method. Unfortunatelly I cannot find this term in r as a method for measuring the distance. Does anybody have an idea? Thanks in advance, Carolin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

Hello, I want to use pearson's correlation as distance between observations and then use any centroid based linkage distance (ex. Ward's distance) When linkage distances are formed as the Lance-Williams recursive formulation, they just require the initial distance between observations. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward%27s_method It is said that you have to use euclidean

Hello to the R people, within ward clustering the distance calculated to decide the clustering of 2 subsets (h1 and h2) is the variation of inertia : d(h1,h2)=I(h1Uh2)-I(h1)-I(h2); i've been said that a way to calculate faster this d(h1,h2) is using the huygens theorem decomposing the inertia into "the inertia to the centroid + the distance to an axe" (that's my version ...). My

Hi, I am new to clustering and was wondering why pvclust using "maximum" as distance measure nearly always results in p-values above 95%. I wrote an example programme which demonstrates this effect. I uploaded a PDF showing the results Here is the code which produces the PDF file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- s <-

Hi, I''m using heatmap.2 to cluster my data, using the centroid method for clustering and the maximum method for calculating the distance matrix: library("gplots") library("RColorBrewer") test <- matrix(c(0.96, 0.07, 0.97, 0.98, 0.50, 0.28, 0.29, 0.77, 0.08, 0.96, 0.51, 0.51, 0.14, 0.19, 0.41, 0.51), ncol=4, byrow=TRUE)

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)

Hi everybody! Anybody knows how can I get detalied information about clusters after using hclust? The issue is that if I have some items in different clusters, I would like to get the cluster where each item is placed. Taking into account that my data set is too large, it is not useful to have the dendogram or a graphic, and really I need something like a simple table with item label and cluster
