Is it possible to perform compare_clusterings using pre-calculated DTW distances? #68

Hello,

I could not find anything in the documentation about using previously calculated distances with proxy::dist. The idea behind this is to leverage the time invested in that work.

If I recall correctly, compare_clusterings should also use a distance matrix provided in the distmat parameter from tsclust-controls, but keep in mind the limitations mentioned in that docu.
