Description

Provides a distance matrix intra- and inter-group average distances based on a clustering solution and a dissimilarity matrix.

Usage

rclust.dist(groups, dist)

Arguments

groups

cluster identity vector

dist

original pairwise distance matrix

Details

This function calculates a distance matrix for each cluster, giving the average within group pairwise distance and the average between group pairwise distance.

Value

A matrix c by c in size, where c is the number of clusters
