Modalclust (version 0.7)

plot.hmac: Plots of heierarchical tree for a 'hmac' object

Description

Plots the dendrogram of the entire heierarchical tree for a 'hmac' object starting from any specified smoothing level.

Usage

# S3 method for hmac
plot(x,mycol=1:6,level=1,n.cluster=NULL,userclus=NULL,sep=.1,...)

Arguments

x

The output of HMAC analysis. An object of class 'hmac'.

mycol

Colors used to represent different clusters.

level

The specified level that dendrogram starts. Default value is 1.

n.cluster

The specified number of clusters. If neither level nor n.cluster is specified, the full tree is plotted.

userclus

If user provides membership, the tree colors the node according to this membership and the tree can be used for validation.

sep

It provides the distance between the lowest layer of nodes of the clusters.
