This function determines, for each cluster in LWClus, the cluster with which that cluster is most closely associated. First the cohesion between all pairs of clusters is calculated; then the cohesion is sorted for each cluster and only the last (i.e., highest) one is selected.

data table containing the flows between the clusters.
data table containing the main characteristics of the cluster.

This function determines, for each pair of cluster in LWClus, the cohesion; then it is sorted and only the last (i.e., highest) one is selected. The highest value it associated with the dominant cluster for the dissolved cluster.
