Bump...no insights on defining custom metrics. Guess I'll give the other languages a shot. Vivek On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 10:13 AM, Vivek Ayer wrote: > Hi guys, > > I've been using the kmeans and hclust functions for some time now and > was wondering if I could specify a custom metric when passing

[R] custom metric for dist for use with hclust/kmeans

Hi guys, I've been using the kmeans and hclust functions for some time now and was wondering if I could specify a custom metric when passing my data frame into hclust as a distance matrix. Actually, kmeans doesn't even take a distance matrix; it takes the data frame directly. I was wondering if th
