get_hierarchical_clusters: Perform modularity-based hierarchical clustering for a correlation matrix

Description

This function performs a modularity-based hierarchical clustering approach to identify clusters from a correlation matrix.

Usage

get_hierarchical_clusters(cormat, min_cluster_corr = 0.8)

Value

A list containing:

cluster

A binary matrix indicating the cluster membership of each variable.

Q_modularity

The modularity values for the identified clusters.

Arguments

cormat

A correlation matrix.

min_cluster_corr

The small correlation for the weights distributions across different iterations to be decided having only one cluster. Default is 0.8.
