{title:Description}

{pstd}If the command {helpb sqom} was performed with option {cmd:full},
further analysis of the resulting dissimilarity matrix becomes
indispensable. Cluster analysis is the most common technique for this
step. Unfortunately, sequence data and the resulting dissimilarity
matrices have different dimensions, so that the cluster variables
cannot easily be attached to the sequence data on a row-by-row
basis. {cmd:sqclustermat} allows specifying an arbitrary
{helpb clustermat} command. The variables produced by the user-specified
{cmd:cluster} command are automatically written to the original sequence data.

{pstd}Postclustering commands do not work for cluster analysis performed with
{cmd:sqclustermat}. If you are serious in performing cluster analysis of
sequences, you might prefer to use {helpb sqclusterdat}. 


{title:Option}

{phang}
{it:clustermat_options} are any of the options allowed with 
{helpb clustermat}.
