| cutree {mva} | R Documentation |
Cut a tree into groups of data
Description
Cuts a tree, e.g., as resulting from hclust, into several
groups either by specifying the desired number of groups or the cut
height.
Usage
cutree(tree, k=NULL, h=NULL)
Arguments
tree |
a tree as produced by |
k |
An integer scalar or vector with the desired number of groups |
h |
A numeric scalar or vector with heights where the tree should be cut. |
At least one of k or h must be specified, k
overrides h if both are given.
Value
cutree returns an vector with group meberships if k or
h are scalar, otherwise a matrix with group meberships is returned
where each column corresponds to the elements of k or h,
respectively (which are also used as column names).

data(USArrests)
hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests))
cutree(hc, k=2:5)
cutree(hc, h=250)
