_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function does regular clustering based on core R function
     hclust().

_U_s_a_g_e:

     priorclust(p)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       p: p is the scaling factor that need to be adjusted using
          biological prior knowledge.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This function is written in comparison to the "posterior"
     clustering implemented as spclust().

_V_a_l_u_e:

     This function returns a distance matrix that can be used by any
     distance based clustering software.

     Discovery Rate (FDR) and Minimum Acceptable Strength (MAS).

     #dat <- read.table("gal.txt", h = T, row.names = 1)
