[R] Weighted Clustering

[vishal goyal]

Hi,

I have a data set(say 2-d demands of a product (say flow-rate vs
concentration)) and with each demand is the weightage (like a probability)
of that demand occuring. Is there a way to cluster this demand-data
(deterministic or probabilistic(if possible)) which also incorporates the
weights (just multiplying distances with weights gives poor and mixed
clusters) while clustering (Something like a Facility Location problem).
I would appreciate any advice.

Regards
