cutreeStaticColor: Constant height tree cut using color labels

Description

Cluster detection by a constant height cut of a hierarchical clustering dendrogram.

Usage

cutreeStaticColor(dendro, cutHeight = 0.9, minSize = 50)

Arguments

dendro
a hierarchical clustering dendrogram such as returned by hclust.
cutHeight
height at which branches are to be cut.
minSize
minimum number of object on a branch to be considered a cluster.

Value

  • A character vector giving color labels of objects, with "grey" meaning unassigned. The largest cluster is conventionally labeled "turquoise", next "blue" etc. Run standardColors() to see the sequence of standard color labels.

Details

This function performs a straightforward constant-height cut as implemented by cutree, then calculates the number of objects on each branch and only keeps branches that have at least minSize objects on them.
