Hello Dear R developers. In using R 3.0.1 on Windows 7 (tried on two computers), I encountered the following behavior:
################################### ################################### # get a dendrogram: data(iris) d_iris <- dist(iris[1:4,-5]) hc_iris <- hclust(d_iris) dend_iris <- as.dendrogram(hc_iris) # as.hclust.dendrogram - of course # taking a subset of the dendrogram: sub_dend_iris <- dend_iris[[2]] hc_sub_dend_iris <- as.hclust(sub_dend_iris) ## from now on, this object: "hc_sub_dend_iris" is dangerous dend_hc_sub_dend_iris <- as.dendrogram(hc_sub_dend_iris) labels(dend_hc_sub_dend_iris) # labels are filled with NA's # "3" "4" NA order.dendrogram(dend_hc_sub_dend_iris) # this is probably the source of the problem # 2 3 4 # running the next line (sometimes once, sometimes it takes 5 times running the same line) causes my R to crash: # cutree(hc_sub_dend_iris,3) ################################### ################################### I suspect the problem is because of the way as.hclust.dendrogram is using the "order" in the dendrogram leaves, combined with the C code in hclust.
