truncate_mode='lastp' parameter in dendrogram function?What will happen if you set the truncate_mode='lastp' parameter in dendrogram function?
medium📝 Predict Output Q5 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand truncate_mode parameter
'lastp' mode truncates dendrogram to show only last p merges.Step 2: Identify effect on dendrogram
This reduces complexity by showing only the last p clusters merged.Final Answer:
Only the last p merged clusters are shown -> Option DQuick Check:
truncate_mode='lastp' limits shown merges [OK]
Quick Trick: Use 'lastp' to show last merges only [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Thinking it flips dendrogram
- Confusing with coloring clusters
- Assuming no truncation happens
