mona.object: Monothetic Analysis (MONA) Object
Description
The objects of class "mona"
represent the divisive
hierarchical clustering of a dataset with binary measurements only.Value
- A legitimate
mona
object is a list with the following components: - datamatrix with the same dimensions as the original data matrix,
but with factors coded as 0 and 1, and all missing values replaced.
- ordera vector giving a permutation of the original observations to allow
for plotting, in the sense that the branches of a clustering tree
will not cross.
- order.laba vector similar to
order
, but containing observation labels
instead of observation numbers. This component is only available if
the original observations were labelled. - variablevector with length n-1, where n is the number of observations,
specifying the variables used to separate the observations of
order
. - stepvector with length n-1, where n is the number of observations,
specifying the separation steps at which the observations of
order
are separated.
