scipy.cluster.hierarchy.to_mlab_linkage

scipy.cluster.hierarchy.to_mlab_linkage(Z)

Convert a linkage matrix to a MATLAB(TM) compatible one.

Converts a linkage matrix Z generated by the linkage function of this module to a MATLAB(TM) compatible one. The return linkage matrix has the last column removed and the cluster indices are converted to 1..N indexing.

Parameters:

Z : ndarray

A linkage matrix generated by scipy.cluster.hierarchy.

Returns:

to_mlab_linkage : ndarray

A linkage matrix compatible with MATLAB(TM)’s hierarchical clustering functions.

The return linkage matrix has the last column removed and the cluster indices are converted to 1..N indexing.
