Include Gower's distance from daisy-function of Cluster package
Hi Alex,
your package seems to be a great help when working with large data sets, as I do.
Is there a chance to quickly include the Gower distance, which is part of the daisy()-function in cluster-package?
I checked the Github CRAN mirror for cluster, but the function seems to be Fortran coded and not C++ as shown in your vignette.
daisy.f
Is there a chance for an easy kind of copy-paste-action or does it mean coding has to be done in C++?
Or did you implement another distance method for mixed variables which I missed, when reading the vignette and the package description?
many thanks in advance and best regards André
Hello André,
you could check out f2c, a library which converts fortran to c.. I'll keep this distance in mind as a candidate to be added to the library.
