scipy.cluster.hierarchy.maxRstat

scipy.cluster.hierarchy.maxRstat(Z, R, i)

Returns the maximum statistic for each non-singleton cluster and its descendents.

Arguments :

• Z : ndarray

  The hierarchical clustering encoded as a matrix. See linkage for more information.

• R : ndarray

  The inconsistency matrix.

• i : int

  The column of R to use as the statistic.

Returns :

• MR : ndarray Calculates the maximum statistic for the i’th column of the inconsistency matrix R for each non-singleton cluster node. MR[j] is the maximum over R[Q(j)-n, i] where Q(j) the set of all node ids corresponding to nodes below and including j.
