[BioC] hclust and (Eisen+ de Hoon) cluster3 program

You will likely get different results from all clustering software, even
when using the same parameters.  This is because many arbitrary
decisions have to be made during a hierarchical cluster analysis and
different programmers will make those decisions in different ways.

Subject: [BioC] hclust and (Eisen+ de Hoon) cluster3 program


Hi all,

I have a problem with the R function 'hclust'. I have noticed 
differences in clustering when I use the 'centroid' cluster method with 
'hclust' and the cluster3 program (see M. Eisen and M. de Hoon).

Have you noticed some differences too ?

I use

hclust from library 'stats' (Built: R 2.0.1; i386-pc-linux-gnu; 
2004-11-15 15:56:06; unix)
cluster 3.0 using C Clustering Library version 1.25

Thanks a lot
