Augmented support for complex survey designs in R

We'll get back to code examples later this week, but wanted to let you know about an R package with updated functionality in the meantime.The appropriate analysis of sample surveys requires incorporation of complex design features, including stratification, clustering, weights, and finite population correction. These can be address in SAS and R for many common models. Section...

Hierarchical Clustering in R

June 16, 2009
By

Hierarchical clustering is a technique for grouping samples/data points into categories and subcategories based on a similarity measure. Being the powerful statistical package it is, R has several routines for doing hierarchical clustering. The basic command for doing HC is hclust(d, method = "complete", members=NULL) Nearly all clustering approaches use a concept of distance. Data points
