further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
Currently there is only support for converting objects of
class "twins" as produced by the functions diana and
agnes from the package cluster. The default method
throws an error unless passed an "hclust" object.
An object of class "hclust".
x <- matrix(rnorm(30), ncol=3)
hc <- hclust(dist(x), method="complete")
if(require(cluster, quietly=TRUE)) {# is a recommended package
ag <- agnes(x, method="complete")
hcag <- as.hclust(ag)
## The dendrograms order slightly differently:
op <- par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(hc) ; mtext("hclust", side=1)
plot(hcag); mtext("agnes", side=1)
