inertdiss: Pseudo inertia of a cluster

Description Usage Arguments References Examples

Description

The pseudo inertia of a cluster is calculated from a dissimilarity matrix and not from a data matrix.

Usage

1
inertdiss(D, indices = NULL, wt = NULL)

Arguments

D

an object of class "dist" with the dissimilarities between the n observations. The function as.dist can be used to transform an object of class matrix to object of class "dist".

indices

a vector with the indices of the subset of observations.

wt

vector with the weights of the n observations
