HeatmapPlot: Comparing two clustering results with a heatmap
In IntClust: Integration of Multiple Data Sets with Clustering Techniques

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

The HeatmapCols function calculates the distance between two outputs of clustering methods and plots the resulting heatmap. The function heatmap.2 is called upon to make the actual plot of the heatmap. It is noted that for thi s function the number of colors should be one more than the number of clusters to color the so called zero cells in the distance matrix.

Another way to compare to methods is via an adaptation of heatmaps. The input of this function is the resulting clustering (the Clust element of the list) of two methods and can be seen as: method 1 versus method 2. The dendrograms are cut into a specific number of clusters. Each cluster of method 2 and its members are given a distinct color represented by a number. These are the clusters to which a comparison is made. A matrix is set up of which the columns are determined by the ordering of clustering of method 2 and the rows by the ordering of method 1. Every column represent one object just as every row and every column represent the color of its cluster. A function visits every cell of the matrix. If the objects represented by the cell are still together in a cluster, the color of the column is passed to the cell. This creates the distance matrix which can be given to the HeatmapCols function to create the heatmap.

1 2	HeatmapPlot(Data1, Data2, names = NULL, nrclusters = NULL, cols = NULL, plottype = "new", location = NULL)

`Data1`	The resulting clustering of method 1.
`Data2`	The resulting clustering of method 2.
`names`	The names of the objects in the data sets. Default is NULL.
`nrclusters`	The number of clusters to cut the dendrogram in. Default is NULL.
`cols`	A character vector with the colours for the clusters. Default is NULL.
`plottype`	Should be one of "pdf","new" or "sweave". If "pdf", a location should be provided in "location" and the figure is saved there. If "new" a new graphic device is opened and if "sweave", the figure is made compatible to appear in a sweave or knitr document, i.e. no new device is opened and the plot appears in the current device or document. Default is "new".
`location`	If plottype is "pdf", a location should be provided in "location" and the figure is saved there. Default is NULL.

A heatmap based on the distance matrix created by the function with the dendrogram of method 2 on top of the plot and the one from method 1 on the left. The names of the objects are depicted on the bottom in the order of clustering of method 2 and on the right by the ordering of method 1. Vertically the cluster of method 2 can be seen while horizontally those of method 1 are portrayed.
