In dendextend: Extending 'dendrogram' Functionality in R

Rotates a dendrogram based on a seriation of a distance matrix

Description

Rotates a dendrogram so it confirms to an order of a provided distance object. The seriation algorithm is based on seriate, which tries to find a linear order for objects using data in form of a dissimilarity matrix (one mode data).

This is useful for heatmap visualization.

Usage

seriate_dendrogram(dend, x, method = c("OLO", "GW"), ...)

Arguments

dend	An object of class dendrogram or hclust
x	a dist object.
method	a character vector of either "OLO" or "GW": "OLO" - Optimal leaf ordering, optimzes the Hamiltonian path length that is restricted by the dendrogram structure - works in O(n^4) "GW" - Gruvaeus and Wainer heuristic to optimze the Hamiltonian path length that is restricted by the dendrogram structure
...	parameters passed to seriate

Value

A dendrogram that is rotated based on the optimal ordering of the distance matrix
