cluster (version 1.4-1)

mona.object: Monothetic Analysis (MONA) Object

Description

The objects of class "mona" represent the divisive hierarchical clustering of a dataset with binary measurements only.

Arguments

Value

  • A legitimate mona object is a list with the following components:
  • datamatrix with the same dimensions as the original data matrix, but with factors coded as 0 and 1, and all missing values replaced.
  • ordera vector giving a permutation of the original observations to allow for plotting, in the sense that the branches of a clustering tree will not cross.
  • order.laba vector similar to order, but containing observation labels instead of observation numbers. This component is only available if the original observations were labelled.
  • variablevector with length n-1, where n is the number of observations, specifying the variables used to separate the observations of order.
  • stepvector with length n-1, where n is the number of observations, specifying the separation steps at which the observations of order are separated.

GENERATION

This class of objects is returned from mona.
