Hi, I already have a dissimilarity matrix and I am submitting the results to the elbow.obj method to get an optimal number of clusters. Am I reading the below output correctly that I should have 17 clusters?
code: top150 <- sampleset[1:150,] {cluster1 <- daisy(top150 , metric = c("gower") , stand = TRUE , type = list(symm = 1)) } dist.obj <- dist(cluster1) hclust.obj <- hclust(dist.obj) css.obj <- css.hclust(dist.obj,hclust.obj) elbow.obj <- elbow.batch(css.obj) [1] "A \"good\" k=17 (EV=0.80) is detected when the EV is no less than 0.8\nand the increment of EV is no more than 0.01 for a bigger k.\n" attr(,"class") [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
