Hierarchical clustering

 

tabular1904

The operation divides the data set <data> into clusters by hierarchical clustering algorithms. The centroids of the clusters are stored into the frame <dataout> and classification into the classified data <cldata>. The flag -clvis is used for visualization. The data <clvis> contains the tree structure of the network. Remark that it has nothing to do with data clusters!

Example (ex5.14): The example shows the basic use for the command.

NDA> load boston.dat
NDA> select cluflds -f boston.indus boston.crim boston.zn boston.rate
NDA> hclust -d cluflds -dout hcludat -cout cld -clvis hhier -sl
NDA> mkgrp win1 -d hcludat
NDA> setgdat win1 -d hcludat
NDA> topo win1 -c hhier -on
