Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

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

1	rclust.dist(groups, dist)

`groups`	cluster identity vector
`dist`	original pairwise distance matrix

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

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

To cluster the data, use the function rclust; see as well rclust.weights, rclust.null

#a null solution for the fdata example data set
data(fdata.mat)
fd.dist <- dino.dist(fdata.mat)
fd.clust <- rclust(fd.dist, 2)
rclust.dist(fd.clust, fd.dist)
