Good afternoon,


After cuting a hierarchical tree using cutree(), how to check correspondances between classes and branches?
This is what we do:

srndpchc <- hclust(dist(srndpc$x[1:1000,1:3]),method="ward") #creation of hierarchical tree
plclust(srndpchc,hmin=20000) #visualisation

srndpchc20000 = cutree(srndpchc,h=20000) #returns 4 classes
table(srndpchc20000 )

srndclass20000 = cbind(srnd@data[1:1000,],srndpchc20000) #assigning classes to objects
srndcents20000 <- aggregate(srndclass20000, by=list(srndpchc20000), FUN=median)
matplot(1:36,t(srndcents20000[,-c(1,38)]))


But how can we make sure that, for example, class 1 is the first branch in the tree plotted  by plclust() ?
