As the name implies. This can also work for non-dendrogram nested lists.
min_depth(dend, ...)
max_depth(dend, ...)Arguments
- dend
Any nested list object (including dendrogram).
- ...
unused at the moment.
Value
Integer, the (min/max) number of nodes from the root to the leafs
Examples
hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave")
(dend1 <- as.dendrogram(hc)) # "print()" method
#> 'dendrogram' with 2 branches and 50 members total, at height 152.314
is.list(dend1)
#> [1] TRUE
is.list(dend1[[1]][[1]][[1]])
#> [1] FALSE
dend1[[1]][[1]][[1]]
#> 'dendrogram' leaf 'Florida', at height 0
plot(dend1)
min_depth(dend1)
#> [1] 4
max_depth(dend1)
#> [1] 10
