R help - Apr 2012 - Obtaining translated, rotated and scaled matrics in procrustes analysis

Hi all,

I wondered how I can get the translated, rotated and scaledmatrix in a
procrustes analysis.  This does not help:


##############################
library (vegan)
#defining the target matrix:
a= cbind (c (1,2,3,4), c( 10,12,14,16))
#defining the matrix to be rotated:
b= a; b[,2]= c(9,11,15,16)
c=procrustes (a,b); g=fitted (c)
# trying to get to the procrustes matrices:
d= t (apply(b,1,'-',c$translation))
#points ( d, col=4)
 e= d %*% c$rotation
#points ( e, col=6)
f= e*  c$scale
#points ( f, col=7)
# Should be  a matrix(0,3,2) but is not:
f-g

#(!) Thanks in Advance.
