Divisive Hierarchical Cluster Analysis

Description

Divisive Hierarchical Cluster Analysis

Usage

dhclust(df, id = NULL, ndiv = 2, maxclustersize = 0, nolarge = 0,
  title = NULL, method = "LS", maxiter = 100, eps = 1e-04, nstart = 0,
  init_method = "ward.D2", plot = 1, useid = 0, print = 1, pplot = 0,
  bplot = 0, debug = 0)

Arguments

df

Input data frame. Numeric part will be used.

id

A vector containing observation id

ndiv

# of clusters to be created at each divide: 2 or 3.

maxclustersize

Maximum # of observations in a cluster which will NOT be divided.

nolarge

= 1 to skip the creation of large (full) tree when maxclustersize > 1.

title

Title string to be used.

method

= "LS", "ML"
where LS uses kmenas and ML uses mxnormal.

maxiter

Maximum # of iterations for method = ML

eps

convergence criterion for method = ML

nstart

= 0 to use hclust as the initial of each division
= n to try n random initial by kmeans and pick up the best.

init_method

Method of hclust for initial

plot

= 0 to surpress the tree

useid

= 1 to use id in the tree plot

print

= 0 to surpress the printing result

pplot

= A vector consisting of the number of clusters with which the profile plots are created.

bplot

= A vector consisting of the number of clusters with which the two dimensional plots are created.

debug

= 1 to print intermediate result

Details

Use nolarge=1 and maxclustersize=nn where nn is about 1/4 of the number of observations
when the data frame to be analyzed contains large # of observations.

This function performs a divisive hierarchical cluster analysis using a recursive function "divide":


The outline of the functions are shown below:

*******************

Value

If maxclustersize=1, a class "hclust" object.
If maxclustersize>1, a list of two class "hclust" objects,
tree_s, for he abbreviated tree, and tree_l, for large full tree.

Each class hclust object has additional information called fissonhistory and fusionhistory, and if maxclustersize > 1,
fusionhistory_l.
When nolarge=1 is specified, even if maxclustersize>1, large tree will not be created.

Use method = "LS" with maxclustersize > 1 and nolarge = 1 when analyzing large dataset.
