similar to: Goodness of fit for hclust?

Hello, how can I get the similarity value (i.e., the inner cluster similarity) that was used to cut a hierarchical tree at a specific height? I would appreciate your help! Best regards, Madeleine

Dear All, I wrote a function for cluster analysis to compute cophenetic correlations between dissimilarity matrices (using the VEGAN library) and cluster analyses of every possible clustering algorithm (SEE ATTACHED) http://old.nabble.com/file/p26288610/cor.coef.R cor.coef.R . As it is now, it is extremely long, and for the future I was hoping to find a more efficient way of doing this sort of

Dear R users, I'm interested in measuring the stability of a heirarchical clustering, of the overall clustering and finding sub clusters (from cutting the heirarchical clustering at different levels) which demonstrate stability. I saw some postings on the R help from a while back about bootstrapping for clustering (using sample and generating a consesus tree with a web based tool CONSENSE)

Hello, I have been using the "cophenetic" function for objects of class "dendrogram" and I have realised that it gives different results when it is used with objects of class "hclust". For instance, running the first example in the help file of the "cophenetic" function, d1 <- dist(USArrests) hc <- hclust(d1, "ave") d2 <-

Note that cophenetic.default (which works on the output of hclust(dist(X))) uses the row names of X as labels. as.dendrogram.hclust does not retain those row names so cophenetic.dendrogram cannot use them (so it orders them based on the topology of the dendrogram).

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.

Hello all, I wish to compare two dendrograms (representing Hierarchical Clusterings). My problems are several: 1) how do I manually create a dendrogram object ? That is, how can I reconstruct it as an "hclust" object that creates such a dendrogram, when all I have is the dendrogram image (but don't have the underlaying distance matrix that produced it) ? I see that there is a

Hey Everyone! I wanted to carry out Hierarchical clustering using distance matrices i have calculated ( instead of euclidean distance etc.) I understand as.dist is the function for this, but the distances in the dendrogram i got by using the following script(1) were not the distances defined in my distance matrices. script: var<-read.table("the distance matrix i calculated",

Dear all, I have a question with regard to the use of hclust. I would like to be able to specify my own distance matrix instead of asking R to compute the distance matrix for me. It is computationally easier for me this way. My question is: How can I get hclust to accept this?

Take the following example: a <- rnorm(100) b <- trunc(3*runif(100)) g <- factor(trunc(4*runif(100)),labels=c('A','B','C','D')) y <- rnorm(100) + a + (b+1) * (unclass(g)+2) m <- lm(y~a+b*g) summary(m) Here b is discrete but not treated as a factor. I am interested in computing the effect of b within groups defined by the

Hi, I clustered a distance matrix and would like to draw it using plot.hclust or plot.dendrogram. The dendrogram is not informative because I have a few extremely small dissimilarities in the distance matrix (e.g. 0), but most of the other distances are in the range 1e10+-5000. I would like to show the tree only for the height of 1e10+-5000 but unfortunately their are no parameter like

Hi, I have the distance matrix computed and I feed it to hclust function. The plot function produces a dense dendrogram as well. But, the cutree function applied does not produce the desired list. Here is the code x=data.frame(similarity_matrix) colnames(x) = c(source_tags_vec) rownames(x) = c(source_tags_vec) clust_tree=hclust(as.dist(x),method="complete") plot(clust_tree)

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

Hey, I am running hclust on several different distance matrices and I have a question thats more about labeling. I've been looking for a way to label the edge values on the graph with their distances between them. I've been looking through the documentation and I haven't found anything yet. Anyone know if there is a way to plot 'hclust' graphs with such edge values? Or

Hi, I am new to clustering in R and I have a dataset with approximately 17,000 rows and 8 columns with each data point a numerical character with three decimal places. I would like to cluster the 8 columns so that I get a dendrogram as an output. So, I am simply creating a distance matrix of my data, using the 'hclust' function, and then plotting the results (see below, my data is

Dear R users, I have noted a difference in the merge distances given by hclust using centroid method. For the following data: x<-c(1009.9,1012.5,1011.1,1011.8,1009.3,1010.6) and using Euclidean distance, hclust using centroid method gives the following results: > x.dist<-dist(x) > x.aah<-hclust(x.dist,method="centroid") > x.aah$merge [,1] [,2] [1,] -3 -6

First I just want to say thanks for all the help I've had from the list so far..) I now have what I think is a clustering problem. I have lots of objects which I have measured a dissimilarity between. Now, this list only has one entry per pair, so it is not symmetrical. Example input: NameA NameB Dist 189_1C2 189_1C1 0 189_1C3 189_1C1 0.017 189_1C3 189_1C2 0.017 189_1C4 189_1C1 0

Hello, I am using the hclust function to cluster some data. I have two separate files with the same data. The only difference is the order of the data in the file. For some reason, when I run the two files through the hclust function, I get two completely different results. Does anyone know why this is happening? Does the order of the data matter?

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
