title: Clustering a mixed data set in R
body: <p>I have a mixed data set (has factor and numeric variable types) and I want to do some clustering analysis. This is so that I will be able to study the entries in each cluster to tell what they have in common.</p>
  
  <p>I know that for this type of data set, the distance to use is "Gower distance".</p>
  
  <p>This what I have done so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cluster &lt;- daisy(mydata, metric = c("euclidean", "manhattan", "gower"), 
                 stand = FALSE, type = list())
  try &lt;- agnes(cluster)
  plot(try, hang = -1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above gave me a dendrogram but I have 2000 entries in my data and I am unable to identify the individual entries at the end of the dendrogram. Also, I want to be able to extract the clusters from the dendrogram. </p>
