An R Introduction to Statistics

Hierarchical Cluster Analysis

  With the distance matrix found in previous tutorial, we can use various techniques of cluster analysis for relationship discovery. For example, in the data set mtcars, we can run the distance matrix with hclust, and plot a dendrogram that displays a hierarchical relationship among the vehicles.

Kendall Rank Coefficient

  The correlation coefficient is a measurement of correlation between two random variables. While its computation is straightforward, it is not readily applicable to non-parametric statistics.
