partition: Convert Object to Partition Object
In optpart: Optimal Partitioning of Similarity Relations

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

Convert an object of class ‘partana’ or class ‘clustering’ to an object of class ‘partition’.

1	partition(x, dist, ...)

`x`	an object which inherits from class ‘clustering’
`dist`	an object of class ‘dist’
`...`	ancillary arguments to pass to ‘partition’

A ‘partition’ object is the output of several functions in package ‘cluster’. This utility function converts objects from package ‘optpart’ to ‘partitions’ so that functions in that library are available.

an object of class ‘partition’ with components (and possibly others):

`clustering`	vector of numeric cluster assignments
`silinfo`	a list with all silhouette information, only available when the number of clusters is non-trivial, i.e., 1 < k < n. See ‘silhouette’
