clusplot {cluster} | R Documentation |
Draws a 2-dimensional “clusplot” (clustering plot) on the
current graphics device.
The generic function has a default and a partition
method.

The clusplot.partition()
method relies on clusplot.default
.
If the clustering algorithms pam
, fanny
and clara
are applied to a data matrix of observations-by-variables then a
clusplot of the resulting clustering can always be drawn. When the
data matrix contains missing values and the clustering is performed
with pam
or fanny
, the dissimilarity
matrix will be given as input to clusplot
. When the clustering
algorithm clara
was applied to a data matrix with NAs
then clusplot will replace the missing values as described in
clusplot.default
, because a dissimilarity matrix is not
available.
