calculate distance between two centers of two clusters using a distance matrix












0














Can i calculate the distance between two centers of two clusters using a distance matrix which contains distance between all points in the two cluster?
In some references, like enter image description here, the distance between each point and the center in one cluster can be calculated using every distance between all points in a cluster. So, i wonder can i calculate the distance between two centers of two clusters using a distance matrix.
