boxplot.hclust: Boxplot with hierarchical cluster breaks

In paulemms/datamining: Data mining

Boxplot with hierarchical cluster breaks

Description

A representation of a hierarchical clustering of predefined groups

Usage

## S3 method for class 'hclust'
boxplot(hc, x, k = 2:5, col = "bisque", ...)

Arguments

x	the list of vectors that was clustered to produce h (typically via ward)
k	a vector of the cluster cardinalities to plot
...	arguments passed to boxplot
h	an hclust object

Value

A boxplot of x is shown with blue lines cutting the x-axis. The tallest lines correspond to divisions made at the top of the hierarchy. By reading top to bottom, you can see how each cluster is subdivided. This can be far more illuminating than a plot of the hierarchy as a tree.
