weighting variables using Gower with DAISY

2 messages · jmpapa, David L Carlson

Hello,

I am running DAISY in R and using the GOWER metric since I am working with
mixed variables. I am wondering if there is a way to weight the different
variables. I see that there is a weight value for Gower but do not know if
this is how to weight the diffrent variables with different weighting
values. Please advise if there is a way to weight the different variables.

Thank you.

That is the way I read the help file for function daisy() in package
cluster, but you might want to contact the package maintainer with your
question:
