JSDtree_cluster: Clustering of phylogenies

Description

Clusters phylogenies using hierarchical and k-medoids clustering

Usage

JSDtree_cluster(JSDtree,alpha=0.9,draw=T)

Arguments

JSDtree

a matrix of distances between phylogenie pairs, typically the output of the JSDtree function when the distance is measured as the Jensen-Shannon distance

alpha

the confidence value for demarcating clusters in the hierarchical clustering plot; the default is 0.9

draw

plot heatmap and hierarchical cluster in new windows

Value

plots a heatmap and a hierarchical cluster with bootstrap support, and outputs results of the k-medoids clustering in the form of a list with the following components

clusters

the optimal number of clusters around medoids (see pamk documentation)

cluster_assignments

assignments of trees to clusters

cluster_support

a list with the following components: widths: a table specifying the cluster to which each tree belongs, the neighbor (i.e. most similar) cluster, and the silhouette width of the observation (see silhouette documentation); clus.avg.widths: average silhouette width for each cluster; vg.width: average silhouette width across all clusters
