as.hclust

From stats v3.2.5 by R-core R-core@R-project.org

Convert Objects to Class hclust

Converts objects from other hierarchical clustering functions to class "hclust".

Keywords: multivariate, cluster

Usage

as.hclust(x, ...)

Arguments

x: Hierarchical clustering object
...: further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

Currently there is only support for converting objects of class "twins" as produced by the functions diana and agnes from the package \href{https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=#1}{\pkg{#1}}clustercluster. The default method throws an error unless passed an "hclust" object.

Value

An object of class "hclust".

Examples

library(stats)

x <- matrix(rnorm(30), ncol = 3)
hc <- hclust(dist(x), method = "complete")

if(require("cluster", quietly = TRUE)) {# is a recommended package
  ag <- agnes(x, method = "complete")
  hcag <- as.hclust(ag)
  ## The dendrograms order slightly differently:
  op <- par(mfrow = c(1,2))
  plot(hc) ;  mtext("hclust", side = 1)
  plot(hcag); mtext("agnes",  side = 1)
  detach("package:cluster")
}
