Comparing average, single & complete linkage
You are now ready to analyze the clustering results of the lineup dataset using the dendrogram plot. This will give you a new perspective on the effect the decision of the linkage method has on your resulting cluster analysis.
Diese Übung ist Teil des Kurses
Cluster Analysis in R
Anleitung zur Übung
- Perform the linkage calculation for hierarchical clustering using the linkages: complete, single, and average.
- Plot the three dendrograms side by side and review the changes.

hc_average <- ___
# Plot & Label the 3 Dendrograms Side-by-Side
# Hint: To see these Side-by-Side run the 4 lines together as one command
