Determining the optimal number of hierarchical clusters. a The cubic clustering criterion (CCC); b The pseudo-F criterion; c The pseudo-\(\mathrm {t^2}\) criterion for assessing the optimal number of hierarchical (UPGMA) clusters within the Thai cat population (2016–2017). Traces are evaluated from right to left. Optimal number of clusters are found at the top of a rising edge (CCC, pseudo-F) or at the bottom of the right flank of a peak (pseudo-\(\mathrm {t^2}\)). From these plots, the optimal number of clusters is considered to be 5 (largest discontinuity)
