hclust2treeview: Hierarchical clustering and treeview export

Description

This function compute hierachical clustering with function hcluster and export cluster to treeview files format.

Usage

hclust2treeview(x,file="cluster.cdt",method = "euclidean",link = "complete",keep.hclust=FALSE)

Arguments

x

numeric matrix or a data frame or an object of class "exprSet".

file

File name of export file.

method

the distance measure to be used. This must be one of "euclidean", "maximum", "manhattan", "canberra" "binary" "pearson", "correlation" or "spearman". Any unambiguous substring can be given.

keep.hclust

if TRUE: function returns a list of 2 objects of class hclust

Value

if keep.hclust = FALSE, function return 1. else function returns 2 objects of class hclust, first: hierachical clustering by rows, second: hierarchical clustering by columns

Details

This function producte all 3 files needed by treeview, with extentions: cdt, gtr, atr.
