Hello, I uploaded a square matrix to R and followed the exact coding, however, the coding is incorrect. I was wondering if you could take a look at my coding to see where the issue is. Attached below is my square matrix and a screenshot of the coding on R. However, I did not add the labels to the columns and rows as I had issues with the header as I would upload the matrix (meaning that I used the file labeled phdtext.csv) . However, I also do not know if I should keep the labels or not (and instead use the file PHDfullmatrix2.csv). The point of doing this was to generate a knowledge structure graph with the words as the nodes and the distances from one-another representing the similarity of association of the two words (the shorter the distance, the more the two words were associated with one another). At the end of this, I would get the eccentricity values and was wondering if I could get help with where I went wrong. Attached below as well is the associated link that I followed with instructions. http://www.wouterspekkink.org/r/mds/gephi/2015/12/15/a-simple-example-of-mds-using-r-and-gephi.html Thank you, Aryana Nabavizadeh -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks for the screenshot but it is not really all that useful. We really need the actual code and some sample data. Have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example or http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Reproducibility.html for some suggesitions. Providing the sample data in dput() format is the best way to supply it.

We can see a few errors in what you have given us, but not enough to solve your
problem as John indicates.
Looking at your Environment window, you have a data frame "phdtext"
which is displayed in the upper left window. That appears to be a symmetrical 17
x 17 matrix so it is not clear why you are trying to create another one with the
as.matrix(read.table()) command. It is not working because phDMatrix is empty as
is phdDist.
Your first visible error message involves trying to install package vegan
without using "vegan", i.e. install.packages("vegan"). That
was not fatal because you were able to use library(vegan) to load it (i.e. you
had already installed vegan).
Based on these hints, the following code MIGHT work:
phdDist <- as.dist(phdtext)
phdMDS <- metaMDS(phdDist)
