Subject: [R] Document clustering for R
I'm working on a project related to document clustering. I
know that R
has clustering algorithms such as clara, but only supports
two distance
metrics: euclidian and manhattan, which are not very useful for
clustering documents. I was wondering how easy it would be to
extend the
clustering package in R to support other distance metrics, such as
cosine distance, or if there was an API for custom distance metrics.
Best regards,
