Hello Sunny,
Defining groups at a given height can be done with the cut function
(see ?cut.dendrogram).
Unfortunately, cut doesn't give you the option of specifying a number
of clusters rather than a height in the way that cutree does for
"hclust" objects. Perhaps someone else here knows of a package that
includes a function to do this (I did a quick sos search but didn't
find anything obvious). Otherwise you could examine the cut function
and try to hack a version that takes number of groups as an argument.
You can see the function's code with the command getS3method("cut",
"dendrogram").
Sorry I can't help more. Being a simple soul I find hclust objects so
much easier to deal with !
