overlap.plot {Mfuzz}R Documentation

Visualisation of cluster overlap and global clustering structure

Description

This function visualises the cluster overlap produced by overlap.

Usage

overlap.plot(cl,overlap,thres=0.1,scale=TRUE,magni=30,P=NULL)

Arguments

cl object of class “flclust”
overlap matrix of cluster overlap produced by overlap
thres threshold for visualisation. Cluster overlaps below the threshold will not be visualised.
scale Scale parameter for principal component analysis by prcomp
magni Factor for increase the line width for cluster overlap.
P Projection matrix produced by principal component analysis.

Value

A plot is genererated based on a prinicpal component analysis of the cluster centers. The overlap is visualised by lines with variable width indicating the strength of the overlap. Additonally, the matrix of principal components is returned. This matrix can be re-used for other projections to compare the overlap and global cluster structure of different clusterings.
