check_clusterstructure | R Documentation |
This checks whether the data is appropriate for clustering using the Hopkins'
H statistic of given data. If the value of Hopkins statistic is close to 0
(below 0.5), then we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the
dataset is significantly clusterable. A value for H lower than 0.25 indicates
a clustering tendency at the 90%
confidence level. The visual assessment of
cluster tendency (VAT) approach (Bezdek and Hathaway, 2002) consists in
investigating the heatmap of the ordered dissimilarity matrix. Following
this, one can potentially detect the clustering tendency by counting the
number of square shaped blocks along the diagonal.
check_clusterstructure(x, standardize = TRUE, distance = "euclidean", ...)
x |
A data frame. |
standardize |
Standardize the data frame before clustering (default). |
distance |
Distance method used. Other methods than "euclidean"
(default) are exploratory in the context of clustering tendency. See
