2D HCA, clustergram and dendrogram

I am using the mac version of Matlab R2013a (8.1.0.604) to perform 2D HCA and create a clustergram of the 2D HCA. I am also getting it to create a dendrogram at the same time. The code I am using is: data = xlsread('FCTonly') data = data(:,2:end) data = xlsread('FCTonly') samples = data(:,1) data = data(:,2:end) variables = xlsread('FCTonlylabels1') X=pdist(data,'euclidean') Y=linkage(X,'complete') Z=dendrogram(Y) Z=clustergram(data,'linkage', 'average', 'colormap', 'redbluecmap', 'rowlabels', samples)
The issue I am having, which didn't happen all the other times I have used this, is that the dendrogram for my samples is wrong on the clustergram. The dendrogram it creates when I use the code is correct and has the correct clusters on it but on the clustergram the dendrogram is different and has changed the clusters slightly. Does anyone know why the clustergram and dendrogram would be different as it has never done this before?

It's a while since I used the Hierarchical Clustering functionality, but isn't 'complete' linkage (used for your dendrogram) different to 'average' linkage (used for the clustergram)?
By the way, it is very useful if you can fill in the Product field and give sensible tags when asking a question. I have the Statistics toolbox and have used 'Dendrogram', but I don't have any 'Clustergram' functionality so where does that come from?

No problem! It's a common problem with 3rd party code, especially if it isn't clearly documented, tested or validated.
