PAM clustering: using my own dissimilarity matrix
Hello, I would like to use my own dissimilarity matrix in a PAM clustering with method "pam" (cluster package) instead of a dissimilarity matrix created by daisy. I read data from a file containing the dissimilarity values using "read.csv". This creates a matrix (alternatively: an array or vector) which is not accepted by "pam": A call

How to access to sum of dissimilarities in CLARA
Dear All , Since dissimilarity is one of quality measures in clustering , I'm trying to access to the sum of dissimilarity as a whole measure. But after running my data using CLARA I obtain : 1128 dissimilarities, summarized : Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 0.033155 0.934630 2.257000 2.941600 4.876600 8.943700 But I can not find the sum of dissimilarity.How can i

Fwd: calculating dissimilarity index of islands (vegan and betapart)
Dear List, This is Elaine, a postgraduate studying in bird distributions in East Asia. I want to calculate Simpson dissimilarity index, based on a presence/absence matrix of bird species in islands in East Asia. (matrix row: 36 islands/matrix column: species ID) (R package vegan to make NMDS and R package betapart) In most papers using vegan for NMDS and betapart for dissimilarity

Converting a Dissimilarity Matrix
Hi all, I'm trying to perform a hierarchical clustering on some dissimilarity data that I have but the data matrix I have already contains the dissimilarity values. These values are calculated using a separate program. The dissimilarity matrix in complete with no missing values but the hclust, and agnes routines require it in the form produced by daisy or dist. Is there any of converting

PAM clustering (using triangular matrix)
Hi, I'm trying to use a similarity matrix (triangular) as input for pam() or fanny() clustering algorithms. The problem is that this algorithms can only accept a dissimilarity matrix, normally generated by daisy(). However, daisy only accept 'data matrix or dataframe. Dissimilarities will be computed between the rows of x'. Is there any way to say to that your data are already a

Jaccard dissimilarity matrix for PCA
Hi I have a large dataset, containing a wide range of binary variables. I would like first of all to compute a jaccard matrix, then do a PCA on this matrix, so that I finally can do a hierarchical clustering on the principal components. My problem is, that I don't know how to compute the jaccard dissimilarity matrix in R? Which package to use, and so on... Can anybody help me? Alternatively

Why daisy() in cluster library failed to exclude NA when computing dissimilarity
Hi, According to daisy function from cluster documentation, it can compute dissimilarity when NA (missing) value(s) is present. http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/cluster/html/daisy.html But why when I tried this code library(cluster) x <- c(1.115,NA,NA,0.971,NA) y <- c(NA,1.006,NA,NA,0.645) df <- as.data.frame(rbind(x,y)) daisy(df,metric="gower") It gave this

Extracting means for given strata from dissimilarity object
Is there a way of extracting mean distance or dissimilarity for a given strata from a 'dist' or 'dissimilarity' object, e.g. extract mean distances for each species in Anderson's iris data? data(iris) iris.dist<-dist(iris[,1:4]) then what?

similarity matrix conversion to dissimilarity
I have a matrix of similarity scores that I want to convert into a matrix of dissimilarity scores so that I can apply some clustering methods to the data. That is, high values in my matrix signify similarity and low values (zero being the lowest) signify no similarity. What functions/options in R or its packages are available for making this kind of transformation of a matrix?

Transformation of dissimilarity or distance matrix
Dear List, is there an elegant (or even not elegant) way how to transform dissimilarity or distance matrix A (or, in general, arbitrary symmetrical matrix) by transposition of rows and columns into a form closest to "block diagonal" matrix B? The matrix A is adjusted the following way A[A<epsilon] <-0 #(epsilon is given "small" number) B: (in its ideal form)

clustering dissimilarities
Hello. I know my dissimilarity matrix but not my original data. Is there any way i could use the clustering function Mclust or EMclust with this dissimilarity matrix? or at least some equivalent of these functions? As this is model based clustering i dont know if it is actually possible to do it without the original data thanks in advance for your help [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

Dice dissimilarity output and 'phylo' function in R
Dear All, I get some problems using the 'phylo' and dissimilarity functions in R. I converted an output from 'hclust' into an order of phylo so as to be able to use the 'consensus' function on it. Each time I submit the consensus codes, my computer hangs. When I tried to see what the contents of the object converted into order phylo is, I get the message

Visualizing a dissimilarity matrix in Euclidean space
Hi, I have a set of nodes and a dissimilarity matrix for them, as well as a csv file in which the diss matrix has been converted to [node_1, node_2, dissimilarity] format. I would like to visualize this as a graph in Euclidean space (that is, similar nodes clumped together in clusters), rather than the seriation visualization given by dissplot(). I am using Network WorkBench for my

isoMDS
Dear List: I have a question regarding an MDS procedure that I am accustomed to using. I have searched around the archives a bit and the help doc and still need a little assistance. The package isoMDS is what I need to perform the non-metric scaling, but I am working with similarity matrices, not dissimilarities. The question may end up being resolved simply. Here is a bit of substantive

fuzzy classification and dissimilarity matrix
Hello, I want to make a fuzzy classification from a dissimilarity matrix (calculated with daisy from package 'cluster'). I have tried to use fanny (package cluster) but I have the same problems than described in a previous message (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/05/4546.html) i.e. it always gives me two clusters in the results (even if k is different from 2) with the same

metaMDS using Dissimilarity matrix
Hello R-user community! I am running R 2.7.0 on a Power Book (Tiger). (I am still R and statistics beginner) Presently I try to run the function metaMDS (vegan) using an existing dissimilarity-matrix. As I would like to start with this matrix I thought I could just give the matrix using the x= -argument Test<-metaMDS(x=Dist.Gower) Fehler in inherits(comm, "dist") :
