Hi, I have individuals related by a similarity (real between 0 and 1, which is not a distance) and I want to clusterise individuals. Actually I have a symetric matrix like this: subject 1 2 3 ... 1 1 .2 .7 ... 2 .2 1 .8 ... 3 .7 .8 1 ... ...
In fact it is possible that exist some incoherence (a very similar to b, b very similar to c but a not similar to a). Perhaps have I two questions? 1-how to transform my similarity (a complex index) in distance for using in a classical clusters analysis? 2-how to use directly my similarity (like a kind of discriminant analysis for correlation between variable)? Thanks in advance for your help.
