Dear R users,

Is there a way to apply a “stopping
rule” in hierarchical Clustering? I have a data and I want to find the optimal
number of clusters while doing hierarchical clustering. I would be deeply 
obliged
if someone, whoever applied stopping rule, could send me the scripts. thanks in 
advance

There are hundreds of such rules to find a proper number of clusters for a given data situation. We do not know which one fits to your data, hence you will have to start reading some books and papers on the topic. A good keyword to start is probably "cluster index".

Best,
Uwe Ligges
