[R] Generating Hotelling's T squared statistic with hclust

[Bert Gunter]

1. Where did you get the idea that this was a good thing to do?

2. Don't do it.

3. Do not reply to r-help: my comments are about statistics, not R,
and so further discussion is off topic here. Either ignore me or post
follow up to a statistics list like stats.stackexchange.com  .

Cheers,
Bert

My research to answer this question has been unsuccessful.  Does anyone know how to get hclust to output the Hotelling's T squared statistic for each cluster?
