Hi there,
I have a similarity matrix that I would like to use as the input of the function linkage. However, this takes as an input only the a dissimilarity/distance matrix. Do you know any way by which I can manage to run a hierarchical clustering in Matlab using my similarity matrix?
Cheers!

Hi,
It is my understanding that you want to compute Hierarchical Clustering with ‘linkage’ function in MATLAB using a similarity matrix.
The ‘linkage’ function in MATLAB takes input as distance vector to compute clusters.
Given a similarity matrix s, we can compute the dissimilarity matrix of s by
ds = 1 – s
This dissimilarity matrix is then converted into a vector form that 'linkage' accepts using 'squareform'.
X = squareform(ds)
Now you can apply 'linkage' with X using ‘complete’ method for calculating distance between clusters.
Z = linkage(X,’complete’)
For more details refer to this documentation link.
Hope this helps.

Hi @Akanksha Shrimal,

I executed the code above following your mentioned instructions,”Given a similarity matrix s, we can compute the dissimilarity matrix of s by

ds = 1 – s

This dissimilarity matrix is then converted into a vector form that 'linkage' accepts using 'squareform'.

X = squareform(ds) “

and encountered an error in code. Please see attached.

Am I missing something?

The definition of similarity matrix can be found here,
