cluinf {lmomRFA} | R Documentation |
Agglomerative hierarchical clustering procedures typically produce
a list of the clusters merged at each stage of the clustering.
cluinf
uses this list to construct arrays that explicitly show
which cluster a given data point belongs to, and which data points belong
to a given cluster.
cluinf(merge,nclust)
merge |
Matrix with 2 columns. The ith row contains
the labels of the clusters merged at the ith merge.
Can also be the object returned by a call to cluagg . |
nclust |
Number of clusters. |
Information about the clustering that has nclust
clusters.
It is a list with the following elements:
assign |
Vector giving the assignment of items to clusters. |
list |
List with nclust elements. Each element contains
the labels of the items in one cluster. |
num |
Vector of length nclust , containing the
number of items in each cluster. |
