Agus, we use cut.tree when it makes sense to use a specific h as a global criterion to split the tree.
In your case, you might want to access the tree using '[['. Examples below borrow the samples you provided in your code: 1) There are two branches in your dend1. To get the left branch, you can do > dend1.1 <- dend1[[1]] > labels(dend1.1) where labels function gives you all the states you have under that branch. 2) There are two big sub-branches on the right branch of brand1, to access the right one of those two sub-branches, you can do, dend1.2.2 <- dend1[[c(2,2)]] # or dend1.2.2<- dend1[[2]][[2]] lables(dend1.2.2) ## will list you all the members. So the branches of a dendrogram object can be accessed in a binary tree fashion, use '1' for the tree on the left and '2' for the tree on the right. hope the above helps. yaomin ------ Yaomin Xu Statstical Computing and Bioinformatics The Cleveland Clinic Foundation ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
