I have been using the pvclust package to perform hierarchical clustering
with bootstrapped p-values. I am using it to compare the numbers of
clusters identified between different datasets. However, the numbers are
not comparable because pvclust calculates p-values for the optimal
number of clusters relative to the distances in that dataset. Is there
any way of setting a scale for pvclust so the package knows whether the
distances it has are close together or far apart, in order to compare
the different datasets?

 

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated,
