R help - May 2009 - Save Cluster results to data frame

If I cluster my data into 3 sets, using pam for instance, is there a way 
to save the resultant cluster results, to the originating data frame. 
and related to that how do i say change the cluster names to something a 
bit more meaningful that 1..2...3

So it goes like this.

Data  ---> Cluster into 3 groups ----> given them meaningful names
                                                                 
--->output back to data frame

Thanks for the help

Hi Chris,

this isn't particularly a clustering question, is it?

Why don't you just take your clustering vector 
(pam.output.object$clustering) and assign it to 
a$clustering (given that a is the name of your data frame)?

And why don't you just define a new character/string vector and assign
the cluster names that you want to it using if or case?

Regards,
Christian
