I have a hclust object that looks like this: > test77
Call: hclust(d = input) Cluster method : complete Number of objects: 11 > test77$height [1] 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.9000000 [8] 0.9473684 1.7894737 8.5771948 > test77$merge [,1] [,2] [1,] -1 -2 [2,] -3 1 [3,] -7 2 [4,] -8 3 [5,] -4 -6 [6,] -5 -10 [7,] -9 5 [8,] -11 4 [9,] 7 8 [10,] 6 9 > I am specifically interested in what happens when you divide this object into three clusters. When I look at the plot, the three clusters form like this: (monospace font) ---------- | | | ---- | | | 2 3 6 What I am wanting is to get distance information on the three groups, and also the number of objects in each. The distances I need are in height, but I don't know how to get at the sizes of the subtrees. I know I can use cutree to get at the cut, but I cannot see anything systematic in which group becomes group no 1 and so forth. The results I want would in this example be: 2 3 6 8.5771948 1.7894737 Any hints for me? Thanks!
