scipy.cluster.hierarchy.to_mlab_linkage¶

scipy.cluster.hierarchy.to_mlab_linkage(Z)[source]¶

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:

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.

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.
