This function defines the hierarchical clustering of any matrix and displays the corresponding dendrogram.
The hierarchical clustering is performed in accordance with the following options:
- Method: WPGMA or UPGMA
- Metric: any anonymous function defined by user to measure vectors dissimilarity
- Clustering parameter: number of clusters or dissimilarity limit
The function returns the linkage tree, the clusters, the list of ranked items and optionally the dendrogram calculated on the basis of dissimilarity matrices.
