Dear Jonathan,
Gower distance could be used for mixed (i.e. continuous and categorical)
data. You can find function for calculating it in the cluster and vegan
packages.
Best wishes

Hello,
I need to do a cluster analysis with a dataset that includes both continuous
and discrete variables. I can't get around the problem of computing a
meaningful distance matrix with such a dataset. I was wondering if any of you
guys has dealt with this issue and what kind of function you found useful.
Thanks!
Jonathan
