Hi, I need to run a PCoA (PCO) for a data set wich has both positive and negative values for variables. I  could not find any distancecoefficient other than euclidean distace running for the data set. Are there any other coefficient works with negtive values.Also I cannot get summary out put (the eigen values) for PCO as for PCA.   Thanks. Dilshan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

R friends, I need to find the determinant of this matrix x 1 0 0 1 x 1 0 0 1 x 1 0 0 1 x det yields x^4-3x^2+1 I can then use polyroot to find the roots of the coefficients. The question is about the use of "x", which is what I'm solving for. thanks in advance, and this is a back-burner question. Apologies if I have posted this incorrectly/to the wrong place, I'm a newbie
