Hi All,

 

Just want to make sure, in function "bclust", do the following
argument
only have one option?

 

argument "dist.method" has one option "Euclidian";

 

argument "hclust.method" has one option "average";

 

argument "base.method" has one option "kmeans".

 

Thank you!

In order to get better help you might want to tell us what "bclust"
is?
  Perhaps a function in some contributed package?

Hi, Linda,

Do you mean ?bclust in package e1071? If so, you should re-read the help 
page:

dist.method: Distance method used for the hierarchical clustering, see
           'dist' for available distances.

Then ?dist tells you:

  method: the distance measure to be used. This must be one of
           '"euclidean"', '"maximum"',
'"manhattan"', '"canberra"',
           '"binary"' or '"minkowski"'. Any
unambiguous substring can be
           given.

There are similar entries for "hclust.method" and
"base.method".

Also, PLEASE do read the posting guide! 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html.

If you refer to functions in contributed packages please state that 
clearly in your message. And, do your homework with regards to reading 
the online documentation.
