[R] cluster analysis: mean values for each variable and cluster

2009-02-20 Thread jgaspard
Hi all! I'm new to R and don't know many about it. Because it is free, I managed to learn it a little bit. Here is my problem: I did a cluster analysis on 30 observations and 16 variables (monde, figaro, liberation, etc.). Here is the .txt data file:

data point is a vector, and my distance measurement is a weighted dot product between vectors. I would like to use R to perform a cluster analysis on this data. Does one of the R cluster analysis routines provide for a user provided distance function? Dan Stanger Eaton Vance Management

[R] Cluster analysis with numeric and categorical variables

2008-06-03 Thread Miha Staut
Dear all, I would like to perform a clustering analysis on a data frame with two coordinate variables (X and Y) and a categorical variable where only a != b can be established. As far as I understood classification analyses, they are not an option as they partition the training set only in k

Re: [R] Cluster analysis with numeric and categorical variables

2008-06-03 Thread Christian Hennig
Dear Miha, a general way to do this is as follows: Define a distance measure by aggregating the Euclidean distance on the (X,Y)-space and the trivial 0-1 distance (0 if category is the same) on the categorial variable. Perform cluster analysis (whichever you want) on the resulting distance
