The following statements use the CLUSTER procedure to cluster the mammals by average linkage and use ODS Graphics and the TREE procedure to produce a horizontal tree diagram that uses the average-linkage distance as its height axis:
ods graphics on; proc cluster method=average std pseudo noeigen outtree=tree; id mammal; var v1-v8; run;
proc tree horizontal; run;
Output 94.1.1 displays the information about how the clusters are joined. For example, the cluster history shows that the mammals Wolf and Bear form cluster 29, which is merged with Raccoon to form cluster 11.

Output 94.1.2 shows the tree diagram produced by PROC CLUSTER.
Output 94.1.3 shows the corresponding tree diagram produced by PROC TREE.
As you view the diagram in Output 94.1.3 from left to right, objects and clusters are progressively joined until a single, all-encompassing cluster is formed at the right (or root) of the tree. Clusters exist at each level of the diagram, and every vertical line connects leaves and branches into progressively larger clusters. For example, the five bats form a cluster at the 0.6 level, while the next cluster consists only of the mole. The mammals Reindeer, Elk, Deer, and Moose form the next cluster at the 0.6 level, the mammals Pika through House Mouse are in the fourth cluster, the mammals Wolf, Bear, and Raccoon form the fifth cluster, and the last cluster contains the mammals Marten through Elephant Seal.
The following statements create the same tree with line printer graphics in a vertical orientation:
proc tree lineprinter; run;
The tree is displayed in Output 94.1.4.

As you look up from the bottom of the diagram, objects and clusters are progressively joined until a single, all-encompassing cluster is formed at the top (or root) of the root. Clusters exist at each level of the diagram. For example, the unbroken line of Xs at the leftmost side of the 0.6 level indicates that the five bats have formed a cluster. The next cluster is represented by a period because it contains only one mammal, Mole. The mammals Reindeer, Elk, Deer, and Moose form the next cluster, indicated by Xs again. The mammals Pika through House Mouse are in the fourth cluster. The mammals Wolf, Bear, and Raccoon form the fifth cluster, while the last cluster contains the mammals Marten through Elephant Seal.
The next statements sort the clusters at each branch in order of formation and use the number of clusters as the height axis:
proc tree sort height=n horizontal; run;
The resulting tree is displayed in Output 94.1.5.
Because the CLUSTER procedure always produces binary trees, the number of internal (root and branch) nodes in the tree is one less than the number of leaves. Therefore 31 clusters are formed from the 32 mammals in the input data set. These are represented by the 31 vertical line segments in the tree diagram, each at a different value along the horizontal axis.
As you examine the tree from left to right, the first vertical line segment is where Beaver and Groundhog are clustered and the number of clusters is 31. The next cluster is formed from Gray Squirrel and Porcupine. The third contains Wolf and Bear. Note how the tree graphically displays the clustering order information that was presented in tabular form by the CLUSTER procedure in Output 94.1.1.
The same clusters as in Output 94.1.3 and Output 94.1.4 can be seen at the six-cluster level of the tree diagram in Output 94.1.5, although the SORT and HEIGHT= options make them appear in a different order.
The following statements create these six clusters and save the result in the output data set part:
proc tree noprint out=part nclusters=6; id mammal; copy v1-v8; run; proc sort; by cluster; run;
PROC TREE with the NOPRINT option displays no output but creates an output data set that indicates the cluster to which each observation belongs at the six-cluster level in the tree. The following statements print the data set part, with the results shown in Output 94.1.6:
proc print label uniform; id mammal; var v1-v8; format v1-v8 1.; by cluster; run;
