convert_to_dist

This function converts a similarity matrix (with values between 0 and 1 and 1s on the diagonal)
or a distance matrix into a 'dist' object. The user can specify the method used to transform
similarity values into distances.

Robust distance-based methods applied to matrices and data frames, producing distance matrices that can be used as input for various visualization techniques such as graphs, heatmaps, or multidimensional scaling configurations. See Boj and Grané (2024) <doi:10.1016/j.seps.2024.101992>.
