iclust.diagram: Draw an ICLUST hierarchical cluster structure diagram

Description

Given a cluster structure determined by ICLUST, create a graphic structural diagram using graphic functions in the psych package To create dot code to describe the ICLUST output with more precision, use ICLUST.graph. If Rgraphviz has been successfully installed, the alternative is to use ICLUST.rgraph.

Usage

iclust.diagram(ic, labels = NULL, short = FALSE, digits = 2, cex = NULL, min.size = NULL, e.size =1,colors=c("black","blue"), main = "ICLUST diagram")

Arguments

ic

Output from ICLUST

labels

labels for variables (if not specified as rownames in the ICLUST output

short

if short=TRUE, variable names are replaced with Vn

digits

Round the path coefficients to digits accuracy

cex

The standard graphic control parameter for font size modifications. This can be used to make the labels bigger or smaller than the default values.

min.size

Don't provide statistics for clusters less than min.size

e.size

size of the ellipses with the cluster statistics.

colors

postive and negative

main

The main graphic title

Value

• Graphical output summarizing the hierarchical cluster structure. The graph is drawn using the diagram functions (e.g., dia.curve, dia.arrow, dia.rect, dia.ellipse ) created as a work around to Rgraphviz.

Details

iclust.diagram provides most of the power of ICLUST.rgraph without the difficulties involved in installing Rgraphviz. It is called automatically from ICLUST.
