Description

Duda-Hart test for whether a data set should be split into two clusters.

Usage

dudahart2(x,clustering,alpha=0.001)

Value

A list with components

p.value

p-value against null hypothesis of homogemeity.

dh

ratio of within-cluster sum of squares for two clusters and overall sum of squares.

compare

critical value for dh at level alpha.

cluster1

FALSE if the null hypothesis of homogemeity is rejected.

alpha

see above.

z

1-alpha-quantile of a standard Gaussian.

Arguments

x

data matrix or data frame.

clustering

vector of integers. Clustering into two clusters.

alpha

numeric between 0 and 1. Significance level (recommended to be small if this is used for estimating the number of clusters).
