Hello,
Can somebody explain why the dendrogram produced by clustergram is different than the one obtained by the traditional pdist, linkage and dendrogram process?
As I understand clustergram uses Euclidean distance metric and Average linkage. But when I run this functions with the aforementioned parameters the resultant groups are different than those displayed by clustergram.
How can I reproduce the same dendrogram produced by clustergram using the pdist->linkage->dendrogram approach?
Thanks in advance.

I thought this could be explained by the standardization performed by clustergram.
However, I use zscore for both, the matrix and each column in the matrix and the dendograms are still different than those of clustergram.
Any idea is much appreciated.

Clustergram standardizes the data. I am not sure what release you are using but the way you control this option with the input arguments to clustergram has not been consistent. Also clustergram runs optimal-leaf-order.

Thank you Lucio. Yes the optimalleaforder can be an explanation. I'm a little bit rusty in matlab and also it's my first time handling a Class. So it can take me sometime to perform the tests.
Thanks again.
