Monothetic Analysis (MONA) Object
mona.object.RdThe objects of class "mona" represent the divisive
hierarchical clustering of a dataset with only binary variables
(measurements). This class of objects is returned from
mona.
Value
A legitimate mona object is a list with the following components:
- data
matrix with the same dimensions as the original data matrix, but with factors coded as 0 and 1, and all missing values replaced.
- order
a vector giving a permutation of the original observations to allow for plotting, in the sense that the branches of a clustering tree will not cross.
- order.lab
a vector similar to
order, but containing observation labels instead of observation numbers. This component is only available if the original observations were labelled.- variable
vector of length n-1 where n is the number of observations, specifying the variables used to separate the observations of
order.- step
vector of length n-1 where n is the number of observations, specifying the separation steps at which the observations of
orderare separated.
