## Objective function to determine lambda.

### Description

Objective function to find the root of in calculating the lambda parameters for each cluster.

### Usage

      Lambda(lambda, rhs, dists, dists.table = NULL)

### Arguments

`lambda` | lambda value to calculate the function output at.
`rhs` | Right-hand side of the equation in the referenced paper.
`dists` | Not used.
`dists.table` | Table of distances between each sequence and the modal sequence in N! space.

### Value

Output of the objective function to determine the root of. Goal is zero.
