[R] Document clustering for R

[David Ruau]

Hi,
We discovered that the package "amap" contain a distance calculation 
function call Dist which can calculate the distance according to a 
method call "pearson" which is in fact the "not centered Pearson" which 
seems to be the cosine distance.
Could you tell me what do you think on that?

Best regards,
David
