Hands-on Exercise 3: Geographical Segmentation with Spatially Constrained Clustering Techniques
Overview
In this exercise, I will gain hands-on experience on how to delineate homogeneous region by using geographically referenced multivariate data. There are two major analysis, namely:
hierarchical cluster analysis; and
spatially constrained cluster analysis.
Getting Started
The Analytical Question
We will delineate Shan State, Myanmar into homogeneous regions by using multiple Information and Communication technology (ICT) measures, namely: Radio, Television, Land line phone, Mobile phone, Computer, and Internet at home.
The Data
Two data sets will be used in this study. They are:
Myanmar Township Boundary Data (i.e. myanmar_township_boundaries) : This is a GIS data in ESRI shapefile format. It consists of township boundary information of Myanmar. The spatial data are captured in polygon features.
Shan-ICT.csv: This is an extract of The 2014 Myanmar Population and Housing Census Myanmar at the township level.
Both data sets are download from Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU)
Installing and Loading R Packages
We will install the necessary R packages into R and launch these R packages into R environment.
The R packages needed for this exercise are as follows:
Spatial data handling
- sf, rgdal and spdep
Attribute data handling
- tidyverse, especially readr, ggplot2 and dplyr
Choropleth mapping
- tmap
Multivariate data visualisation and analysis
- coorplot, ggpubr, and heatmaply
Cluster analysis
cluster
ClustGeo
The code chunks below installs and launches these R packages into R environment.
Data Import and Preparation
Importing geospatial data into R environment
We will import Myanmar Township Boundary GIS data and its associated attrbiute table into R environment.
The Myanmar Township Boundary GIS data is in ESRI shapefile format. It will be imported into R environment by using the st_read() function of sf.
The code chunk used are shown below:
<- st_read(dsn = "data/geospatial",
shan_sf layer = "myanmar_township_boundaries") %>%
filter(ST %in% c("Shan (East)", "Shan (North)", "Shan (South)"))
Reading layer `myanmar_township_boundaries' from data source
`/Users/jonathanley/Dropbox/SMU Modules/ISSS624 - Applied Geospatial Analytics/Quarto/jonathanley1986/ISSS624/Hands-on_Ex/data/geospatial'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile'

Importing aspatial data into R environment
The csv file will be import using read_csv function of readr package.
The code chunks used are shown below:
<- read_csv ("data/aspatial/Shan-ICT.csv", show_col_types = FALSE) ict
The attribute data set is called ict. It is saved in R’s * tibble data.frame* format.
The code chunk below reveal the summary statistics of ict data.frame:

Derive new variables using dplyr package
The unit of measurement of the values are number of household. Using these values directly will be bias by the underlying total number of households. In general, the townships with relatively higher total number of households will also have higher number of households owning radio, TV, etc.
In order to overcome this problem, we will derive the penetration rate of each ICT variable by using the code chunk below.
<- ict %>%
ict_derived mutate(`RADIO_PR` = `Radio`/`Total households`*1000) %>%
mutate(`TV_PR` = `Television`/`Total households`*1000) %>%
mutate(`LLPHONE_PR` = `Land line phone`/`Total households`*1000) %>%
mutate(`MPHONE_PR` = `Mobile phone`/`Total households`*1000) %>%
mutate(`COMPUTER_PR` = `Computer`/`Total households`*1000) %>%
mutate(`INTERNET_PR` = `Internet at home`/`Total households`*1000) %>%
rename(`DT_PCODE` =`District Pcode`,`DT`=`District Name`,
`TS_PCODE`=`Township Pcode`, `TS`=`Township Name`,
`TT_HOUSEHOLDS`=`Total households`,
`RADIO`=`Radio`, `TV`=`Television`,
`LLPHONE`=`Land line phone`, `MPHONE`=`Mobile phone`,
`COMPUTER`=`Computer`, `INTERNET`=`Internet at home`)
The code chunk below shows the summary statistics of the newly derived penetration rates.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
EDA using statistical graphics
We can plot the distribution of the variables (i.e. Number of households with radio) by using appropriate Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) as shown in the code chunk below.
ggplot(data=ict_derived,
aes(x=`RADIO`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue")
Boxplot is useful to detect if there are outliers.
ggplot(data=ict_derived,
aes(x=`RADIO`)) +
geom_boxplot(color="black",
fill="light blue")
We will also plotting the distribution of the newly derived variables (i.e. Radio penetration rate) by using the code chunk below.
ggplot(data=ict_derived,
aes(x=`RADIO_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue")
The code chunk below is used to plot the boxplot.
ggplot(data=ict_derived,
aes(x=`RADIO_PR`)) +
geom_boxplot(color="black",
fill="light blue")
The code chunks below are used to create the data visualisation. They consist of two main parts. First, we will create the individual histograms using the code chunk below.
<- ggplot(data=ict_derived,
radio aes(x= `RADIO_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue")
<- ggplot(data=ict_derived,
tv aes(x= `TV_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue")
<- ggplot(data=ict_derived,
llphone aes(x= `LLPHONE_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue")
<- ggplot(data=ict_derived,
mphone aes(x= `MPHONE_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue")
<- ggplot(data=ict_derived,
computer aes(x= `COMPUTER_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue")
<- ggplot(data=ict_derived,
internet aes(x= `INTERNET_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue")
The ggarange() function of ggpubr package is used to group these histograms together.
ggarrange(radio, tv, llphone, mphone, computer, internet,
ncol = 3,
nrow = 2)
EDA using choropleth map
Joining geospatial data with aspatial data
Before we can prepare the choropleth map, we need to combine both the geospatial data object (i.e. shan_sf) and aspatial data.frame object (i.e. ict_derived) into one. This will be performed by using the left_join function of dplyr package. The shan_sf simple feature data.frame will be used as the base data object and the ict_derived data.frame will be used as the join table.
The code chunks below is used to perform the task. The unique identifier used to join both data objects is TS_PCODE.
<- left_join(shan_sf,
shan_sf
ict_derived, by=c("TS_PCODE"="TS_PCODE"))
Preparing a choropleth map
The code chunks below are used to prepare the choroplethby using the qtm() function of tmap package.
qtm(shan_sf, "RADIO_PR")
In order to reveal the distribution shown in the choropleth map above are bias to the underlying total number of households at the townships, we will create two choropleth maps, one for the total number of households (i.e. TT_HOUSEHOLDS.map) and one for the total number of household with Radio (RADIO.map) by using the code chunk below.
<- tm_shape(shan_sf) +
TT_HOUSEHOLDS.map tm_fill(col = "TT_HOUSEHOLDS",
n = 5,
style = "jenks",
title = "Total households") +
tm_borders(alpha = 0.5)
<- tm_shape(shan_sf) +
RADIO.map tm_fill(col = "RADIO",
n = 5,
style = "jenks",
title = "Number Radio ") +
tm_borders(alpha = 0.5)
tmap_arrange(TT_HOUSEHOLDS.map, RADIO.map,
asp=NA, ncol=2)
Now we will plot the choropleth maps showing the dsitribution of total number of households and Radio penetration rate by using the code chunk below.
tm_shape(shan_sf) +
tm_polygons(c("TT_HOUSEHOLDS", "RADIO_PR"),
style="jenks") +
tm_facets(sync = TRUE, ncol = 2) +
tm_legend(legend.position = c("right", "bottom"))+
tm_layout(outer.margins=0, asp=0)
Correlation Analysis
In this section, we will learn how to use corrplot.mixed() function of corrplot package to visualise and analyse the correlation of the input variables.
= cor(ict_derived[,12:17])
cluster_vars.cor corrplot.mixed(cluster_vars.cor,
lower = "ellipse",
upper = "number",
tl.pos = "lt",
diag = "l",
tl.col = "black")
Hierarchy Cluster Analysis
In this section, we will learn how to perform hierarchical cluster analysis. The analysis consists of four major steps:
Extracting clustering variables
The code chunk below will be used to extract the clustering variables from the shan_sf simple feature object into data.frame.
<- shan_sf %>%
cluster_vars st_set_geometry(NULL) %>%
select("TS.x", "RADIO_PR", "TV_PR", "LLPHONE_PR", "MPHONE_PR", "COMPUTER_PR")
head(cluster_vars,10)

Next, we need to change the rows by township name instead of row number by using the code chunk below.
row.names(cluster_vars) <- cluster_vars$"TS.x"

Data Standardisation
In order to avoid the cluster analysis result is baised to clustering variables with large values, it is useful to standardise the input variables before performing cluster analysis.
Min-Max standardisation
In the code chunk below, normalize() of heatmaply package is used to stadardisation the clustering variables by using Min-Max method. The summary() is then used to display the summary statistics of the standardised clustering variables.
<- normalize(shan_ict)
shan_ict.std summary(shan_ict.std)

Visualising the standardised clustering variables
Beside reviewing the summary statistics of the standardised clustering variables, it is also a good practice to visualise their distribution graphical.
The code chunk below plot the scaled Radio_PR field.
<- ggplot(data=ict_derived,
r aes(x= `RADIO_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue")
<- as.data.frame(shan_ict.std)
shan_ict_s_df <- ggplot(data=shan_ict_s_df,
s aes(x=`RADIO_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue") +
ggtitle("Min-Max Standardisation")
<- as.data.frame(shan_ict.z)
shan_ict_z_df <- ggplot(data=shan_ict_z_df,
z aes(x=`RADIO_PR`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20,
color="black",
fill="light blue") +
ggtitle("Z-score Standardisation")
ggarrange(r, s, z,
ncol = 3,
nrow = 1)
Computing proximity matrix
We will compute the proximity matrix by using dist() of R.
dist() supports six distance proximity calculations, they are: euclidean, maximum, manhattan, canberra, binary and minkowski. The default is euclidean proximity matrix.
The code chunk below is used to compute the proximity matrix using euclidean method.
<- dist(shan_ict, method = 'euclidean') proxmat
The code chunk below can then be used to list the content of proxmat for visual inspection.

Computing hierarchical clustering
In this hands-on exercise, hclust() of R stats will be used.
hclust() employed agglomeration method to compute the cluster. Eight clustering algorithms are supported, they are: ward.D, ward.D2, single, complete, average(UPGMA), mcquitty(WPGMA), median(WPGMC) and centroid(UPGMC).
The code chunk below performs hierarchical cluster analysis using ward.D method. The hierarchical clustering output is stored in an object of class hclust which describes the tree produced by the clustering process.
<- hclust(proxmat, method = 'ward.D') hclust_ward
We can then plot the tree by using plot() of R Graphics as shown in the code chunk below.
plot(hclust_ward, cex = 0.6)
Selecting the optimal clustering algorithm
One of the challenge in performing hierarchical clustering is to identify stronger clustering structures. The issue can be solved by using use agnes() function of cluster package. It functions like hclus(), however, with the agnes() function you can also get the agglomerative coefficient, which measures the amount of clustering structure found (values closer to 1 suggest strong clustering structure).
The code chunk below will be used to compute the agglomerative coefficients of all hierarchical clustering algorithms.
<- c( "average", "single", "complete", "ward")
m names(m) <- c( "average", "single", "complete", "ward")
<- function(x) {
ac agnes(shan_ict, method = x)$ac
}
map_dbl(m, ac)
average single complete ward
0.8131144 0.6628705 0.8950702 0.9427730
Determining Optimal Clusters
Another technical challenge face by data analyst in performing clustering analysis is to determine the optimal clusters to retain.
There are three commonly used methods to determine the optimal clusters, they are:
Gap Statistic Method
The gap statistic compares the total within intra-cluster variation for different values of k with their expected values under null reference distribution of the data. The estimate of the optimal clusters will be value that maximize the gap statistic (i.e., that yields the largest gap statistic). This means that the clustering structure is far away from the random uniform distribution of points.
To compute the gap statistic, clusGap() of cluster package will be used.
set.seed(12345)
<- clusGap(shan_ict,
gap_stat FUN = hcut,
nstart = 25,
K.max = 10,
B = 50)
# Print the result
print(gap_stat, method = "firstmax")
Clustering Gap statistic ["clusGap"] from call:
clusGap(x = shan_ict, FUNcluster = hcut, K.max = 10, B = 50, nstart = 25)
B=50 simulated reference sets, k = 1..10; spaceH0="scaledPCA"
--> Number of clusters (method 'firstmax'): 1
logW E.logW gap SE.sim
[1,] 8.407129 8.680794 0.2736651 0.04460994
[2,] 8.130029 8.350712 0.2206824 0.03880130
[3,] 7.992265 8.202550 0.2102844 0.03362652
[4,] 7.862224 8.080655 0.2184311 0.03784781
[5,] 7.756461 7.978022 0.2215615 0.03897071
[6,] 7.665594 7.887777 0.2221833 0.03973087
[7,] 7.590919 7.806333 0.2154145 0.04054939
[8,] 7.526680 7.731619 0.2049390 0.04198644
[9,] 7.458024 7.660795 0.2027705 0.04421874
[10,] 7.377412 7.593858 0.2164465 0.04540947
Also note that the hcut function used is from factoextra package.
Next, we can visualise the plot by using fviz_gap_stat() of factoextra package.
fviz_gap_stat(gap_stat)
Interpreting the dendrograms
The height of the fusion, provided on the vertical axis, indicates the (dis)similarity between two observations. The higher the height of the fusion, the less similar the observations are.
It’s also possible to draw the dendrogram with a border around the selected clusters by using rect.hclust() of R stats. The argument border is used to specify the border colors for the rectangles.
plot(hclust_ward, cex = 0.6)
rect.hclust(hclust_ward,
k = 6,
border = 2:5)
Visually-driven hierarchical clustering analysis
In this section, we will learn how to perform visually-driven hiearchical clustering analysis by using heatmaply package.
With heatmaply, we are able to build both highly interactive cluster heatmap or static cluster heatmap.
Transforming the data frame into a matrix
The data was loaded into a data frame, but it has to be a data matrix to make your heatmap.
The code chunk below will be used to transform shan_ict data frame into a data matrix.
<- data.matrix(shan_ict) shan_ict_mat
Plotting interactive cluster heatmap using heatmaply()
In the code chunk below, the heatmaply() of heatmaply package is used to build an interactive cluster heatmap.
heatmaply(normalize(shan_ict_mat),
Colv=NA,
dist_method = "euclidean",
hclust_method = "ward.D",
seriate = "OLO",
colors = Blues,
k_row = 6,
margins = c(NA,200,60,NA),
fontsize_row = 4,
fontsize_col = 5,
main="Geographic Segmentation of Shan State by ICT indicators",
xlab = "ICT Indicators",
ylab = "Townships of Shan State"
)
Mapping the clusters formed
With closed examination of the dendragram above, we have decided to retain six clusters.
cutree() of R Base will be used in the code chunk below to derive a 6-cluster model.
<- as.factor(cutree(hclust_ward, k=6)) groups
The output is called groups. It is a list object.
In order to visualise the clusters, the groups object need to be appended onto shan_sf simple feature object.
The code chunk below form the join in three steps:
the groups list object will be converted into a matrix;
cbind() is used to append groups matrix onto shan_sf to produce an output simple feature object called
shan_sf_cluster
; andrename of dplyr package is used to rename as.matrix.groups field as CLUSTER.
<- cbind(shan_sf, as.matrix(groups)) %>%
shan_sf_cluster rename(`CLUSTER`=`as.matrix.groups.`)
Next, qtm() of tmap package is used to plot the choropleth map showing the cluster formed.
qtm(shan_sf_cluster, "CLUSTER")
Spatially Constrained Clustering - SKATER approach
In this section, we will learn how to derive spatially constrained cluster by using skater() method of spdep package.
Converting into SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
First, we need to convert shan_sf
into SpatialPolygonsDataFrame. This is because SKATER function only support sp objects such as SpatialPolygonDataFrame.
The code chunk below uses as_Spatial() of sf package to convert shan_sf into a SpatialPolygonDataFrame called shan_sp.
<- as_Spatial(shan_sf) shan_sp
Computing Neighbour List
Next, poly2nd() of spdep package will be used to compute the neighbours list from polygon list.
<- poly2nb(shan_sp)
shan.nb summary(shan.nb)
Neighbour list object:
Number of regions: 55
Number of nonzero links: 264
Percentage nonzero weights: 8.727273
Average number of links: 4.8
Link number distribution:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
5 9 7 21 4 3 5 1
5 least connected regions:
3 5 7 9 47 with 2 links
1 most connected region:
8 with 9 links
We can plot the neighbours list on shan_sp by using the code chunk below.
plot(shan_sp,
border=grey(.5))
plot(shan.nb,
coordinates(shan_sp),
col="blue",
add=TRUE)
Computing minimum spanning tree
Calculating edge costs
Next, nbcosts() of spdep package is used to compute the cost of each edge. It is the distance between it nodes. This function compute this distance using a data.frame with observations vector in each node.
The code chunk below is used to compute the cost of each edge.
<- nbcosts(shan.nb, shan_ict) lcosts
Next, We will incorporate these costs into a weights object in the same way as we did in the calculation of inverse of distance weights. In other words, we convert the neighbour list to a list weights object by specifying the just computed lcosts as the weights.
In order to achieve this, nb2listw() of spdep package is used as shown in the code chunk below.
Note that we specify the style as B to make sure the cost values are not row-standardised.
<- nb2listw(shan.nb,
shan.w
lcosts, style="B")
summary(shan.w)
Characteristics of weights list object:
Neighbour list object:
Number of regions: 55
Number of nonzero links: 264
Percentage nonzero weights: 8.727273
Average number of links: 4.8
Link number distribution:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
5 9 7 21 4 3 5 1
5 least connected regions:
3 5 7 9 47 with 2 links
1 most connected region:
8 with 9 links
Weights style: B
Weights constants summary:
n nn S0 S1 S2
B 55 3025 76267.65 58260785 522016004
Computing minimum spanning tree
The minimum spanning tree is computed by mean of the mstree() of spdep package as shown in the code chunk below.
<- mstree(shan.w) shan.mst
After computing the MST, we can check its class and dimension by using the code chunk below.
class(shan.mst)
[1] "mst" "matrix"
dim(shan.mst)
[1] 54 3
We can display the content of shan.mst by using head() as shown in the code chunk below.
head(shan.mst)
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 31 25 229.44658
[2,] 25 10 163.95741
[3,] 10 1 144.02475
[4,] 10 9 157.04230
[5,] 9 8 90.82891
[6,] 8 6 140.01101
The plot method for the MST include a way to show the observation numbers of the nodes in addition to the edge. As before, we plot this together with the township boundaries. We can see how the initial neighbour list is simplified to just one edge connecting each of the nodes, while passing through all the nodes.
plot(shan_sp, border=gray(.5))
plot.mst(shan.mst,
coordinates(shan_sp),
col="blue",
cex.lab=0.7,
cex.circles=0.005,
add=TRUE)
Computing spatially constrained clusters using SKATER method
The code chunk below compute the spatially constrained cluster using skater() of spdep package.
<- skater(edges = shan.mst[,1:2],
clust6 data = shan_ict,
method = "euclidean",
ncuts = 5)
The result of the skater() is an object of class skater. We can examine its contents by using the code chunk below.
str(clust6)

$ vec.crit : num [1:55] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
- attr(*, "class")= chr "skater"
We can check the cluster assignment by using the conde chunk below.
<- clust6$groups
ccs6 ccs6
[1] 3 3 6 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 4 1 2 5 1 1 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 1 3 1 2
[39] 2 2 2 2 2 4 1 3 2 1 1 1 2 1 2 1 1
We can find out how many observations are in each cluster by means of the table command.
table(ccs6)
ccs6
1 2 3 4 5 6
22 18 11 2 1 1
Lastly, we can also plot the pruned tree that shows the five clusters on top of the townshop area.
plot(shan_sp, border=gray(.5))
plot(clust6,
coordinates(shan_sp),
cex.lab=.7,
groups.colors=c("red","green","blue", "brown", "pink"),
cex.circles=0.005,
add=TRUE)
Visualising the clusters in choropleth map
The code chunk below is used to plot the newly derived clusters by using SKATER method.
<- as.matrix(clust6$groups)
groups_mat <- cbind(shan_sf_cluster, as.factor(groups_mat)) %>%
shan_sf_spatialcluster rename(`SP_CLUSTER`=`as.factor.groups_mat.`)
qtm(shan_sf_spatialcluster, "SP_CLUSTER")
For easy comparison, it will be better to place both the hierarchical clustering and spatially constrained hierarchical clustering maps next to each other.
<- qtm(shan_sf_cluster,
hclust.map "CLUSTER") +
tm_borders(alpha = 0.5)
<- qtm(shan_sf_spatialcluster,
shclust.map "SP_CLUSTER") +
tm_borders(alpha = 0.5)
tmap_arrange(hclust.map, shclust.map,
asp=NA, ncol=2)
Spatially Constrained Clustering: ClustGeo Method
In this section, we will gain hands-on experience on using functions provided by ClustGeo package to perform non-spatially constrained hierarchical cluster analysis and spatially constrained cluster analysis.
Ward-like hierarchical clustering: ClustGeo
ClustGeo package provides function called hclustgeo()
to perform a typical Ward-like hierarchical clustering just like hclust()
you learned in previous section.
To perform non-spatially constrained hierarchical clustering, we only need to provide the function a dissimilarity matrix as shown in the code chunk below.
<- hclustgeo(proxmat)
nongeo_cluster plot(nongeo_cluster, cex = 0.5)
rect.hclust(nongeo_cluster,
k = 6,
border = 2:5)
Note that the dissimilarity matrix must be an object of class dist
, i.e. an object obtained with the function dist()
. For sample code chunk, please refer to 5.7.6 Computing proximity matrix
Mapping the clusters formed
Similarly, we can plot the clusters on a categorical area shaded map by using the steps we learned in 5.7.12 Mapping the clusters formed.
<- as.factor(cutree(nongeo_cluster, k=6))
groups
<- cbind(shan_sf, as.matrix(groups)) %>%
shan_sf_ngeo_cluster rename(`CLUSTER` = `as.matrix.groups.`)
qtm(shan_sf_ngeo_cluster, "CLUSTER")
Spatially Constrained Hierarchical Clustering
Before we can performed spatially constrained hierarchical clustering, a spatial distance matrix will be derived by using st_distance()
of sf package.
<- st_distance(shan_sf, shan_sf)
dist <- as.dist(dist) distmat
Next, choicealpha()
will be used to determine a suitable value for the mixing parameter alpha as shown in the code chunk below.
<- choicealpha(proxmat, distmat, range.alpha = seq(0, 1, 0.1), K=6, graph = TRUE) cr
With reference to the graphs above, alpha = 0.3 will be used as shown in the code chunk below.
<- hclustgeo(proxmat, distmat, alpha = 0.3) clustG
Next, cutree()
is used to derive the cluster object.
<- as.factor(cutree(clustG, k=6)) groups
We will then join back the group list with shan_sf polygon feature data frame by using the code chunk below.
<- cbind(shan_sf, as.matrix(groups)) %>%
shan_sf_Gcluster rename(`CLUSTER` = `as.matrix.groups.`)
We can not plot the map of the newly delineated spatially constrained clusters.
qtm(shan_sf_Gcluster, "CLUSTER")
