.Perform hierarchical clustering of the yeast data in Section C.4.
Use the Euclidean distance metric with standardized data. How does cluster
membership obtained with hierarchical clustering compare with the result
from K-means ?
.Repeat the calculation in Exercise 3, except use the correlation
coefficients to calculate distances. [Hint: Use the R function as.dist().] In
previous calculations using these data, we standardized expression levels for
each gene (row) prior to clustering. Is this standardization needed for hierarchical
clustering when correlation coefficients are used for distances? Why or
why not?
