public Vector<int> GetDendrogramOrder()

Return Value

Vector<Int32>
A Filter.

Remarks

A dendrogram is a graphical representation of a cluster analysis. It shows which clusters were combined in each step in a tree-like structure. Because any two clusters can be combined at any time, it is likely that some of the branches will intersect each other if the cases are listed in the given order.

This method returns a Filter object that, when applied to the observations, sorts the cases in such a way that the branches of a dendrogram will not intersect.
