hcaSpectra: Plot HCA Results of a Spectra Object

Description

A wrapper which carries out HCA and plots a dendrogram colored by the information in a "Spectra" object. Many methods for computing the clusters and distances are available.

Usage

hcaSpectra(spectra, c.method = "complete", d.method = "euclidean", use.sym = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

spectra

An object of S3 class "Spectra".

c.method

A character string describing the clustering method; must be acceptable to hclust.

d.method

A character string describing the distance calculation method; must be acceptable as a method in rowDist.

use.sym

A logical; if true, use no color and use lower-case letters to indicate group membership.

...

Other parameters to be passed to the plotting functions.

Value

• A list, containing an object of class hclust and an object of class dendrogram. The side effect is a plot.

Examples

data(SrE.IR)
myt <- expression(bolditalic(Serenoa)~bolditalic(repens)~bold(IR~Spectra))
res <- hcaSpectra(SrE.IR, main = myt)
