No.

Failing to post in plain text format on this list can quickly lead to 
miscommunication.

Note that reading the Posting Guide would have addressed both of these issues.

Hi Harmeet,

Welcome to R-help but I think you are here too soon.  This is a list for 
helping people do things in R once they have some idea of what tey need to do  
in terms of statistics etc.  There are mobs of stats experts here but this not 
the list you should be asking in unless I am misunderstanding you.


I'd suggest reading some texts on cluster analysis and enquiring in 
http://stats.stackexchange.com/ for some opinions and help.  

If I misunderstood where you are at in your project and need concrete advice on 
packages, please excuse me.  

If I did misunderstand then you might find 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example
 and http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Reproducibility.html useful resources on how to 
frame questions here.

Can't remember your password? Do you need a strong and secure password?
Use Password manager! It stores your passwords & protects your account.

You could look at silhouette width in, I think, the cluster package.

Please excuse my brevity; this message was sent from my telephone.

[R] How to validate the cluster analysis?

2015-06-09 Thread My List
All,

I am new to the world of statistics. I am interested in finding out the
validation techniques employed on a cluster analysis. Any point of
reference or site would be helpful. I have read about the clValid package
and usage of the function on cluster.stats() in the fpc package.

Thanks in Advance,
Harmeet
