Hi,
I want to know which distance is using in the function kmeans
and if we can change this distance. Indeed, in the function pam, we can put a distance matrix in
parameter (by the line "pam<-pam(dist(matrixdata),k=7)" ) but
we can't do it in the function kmeans, we have to put the
matrix of data directly ...
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas BOUGET
As the name says, kmeans() calculates *means* (centres) of clusters. It does not any make sense to do that on distances ...
