My data file mahalanobis.txt and categories file concentrations.txt are attached. I do the following steps: x <- as.matrix(read.table("mahalanobis.txt", header=TRUE))

Hello R helpers, I'm trying to use Mahalanobis distance to calculate distance of two time series, to make some comparations with euclidean distance, DTW, etc, but I'm having some dificults. I have, for example, two objects: s.1 <- c( 5.6324702, 1.3994353, -3.2572327, -3.8311846, -1.2248719, 0.9894694, -2.2835332, -5.1969285, -5.2823988, -3.1499400, -1.7307950, 2.8221209,

Dear R-experts, Searching the help archives I found a recommendation to do multivariate outlier identification by mahalanobis distances based on a robustly estimated covariance matrix and compare the resulting distances to a chi^2-distribution with p (number of your variables) degrees of freedom. I understand that compared to euclidean distances this has the advantage of being scale-invariant.

Dear all Why isn'it possible to calculate Mahalanobis distances with R for a matrix with 1 row (observations) more than the number of columns (variables)? > mydata <- matrix(runif(12,-5,5), 4, 3) > mahalanobis(x=mydata, center=apply(mydata,2,mean), cov=var(mydata)) [1] 2.25 2.25 2.25 2.25 > mydata <- matrix(runif(420,-5,5), 21, 20) > mahalanobis(x=mydata,

I am a new R user. i have a question about Mahalanobis distance.actually i have 300 rows and 7 columns. columns are different measurements, 300 rows are genes. since genes can classify into 4 categories. i used dist() with euclidean distance and cmdscale to do MDS plot. but find out Mahalanobis distance may be better. how do i use Mahalanobis() to generate similar dist object which i can use

Hello, I am a new R user and trying to learn how to implement the mahalanobis function to measure the distance between to 2 population centroids. I have used STATISTICA to calculate these differences, but was hoping to learn to do the analysis in R. I have implemented the code as below, but my results are very different from that of STATISTICA, and I believe I may not have interpreted the help

Hello all, I am a 2 month newbie to R and am stumped. I have a data set that I've run multivariate stats on using the manova function (I included the data set). Now it comes time for a table of effect sizes with significance. The univariate tests are easy. Where I run into trouble filling in the table of effect sizes is the Mahalanobis D as an effect size. I've included the table so

I want to calculate the probability that a group will include a particular point using the squared Mahalanobis distance to the centroid. I understand that the squared Mahalanobis distance is distributed as chi-squared but that for a small number of random samples from a multivariate normal population the Hotellings T2 (T squared) distribution should be used. I cannot find a function for

Hi, help on 'mahalanobis' (in the stats package in Rv2.2.0) now says: "Description: Returns the Mahalanobis distance of all rows in 'x' and the vector mu='center' with respect to Sigma='cov'. This is (for vector 'x') defined as D^2 = (x - mu)' Sigma^{-1} (x - mu)" It does return D^2 as written. However,

Dear R ExpeRts, I'm having memory difficulties using mahalanobis distance to trying to cluster in R. I was wondering if anyone has done it with a matrix of 6525x17 (or something similar to that size). I have a matrix of 6525 genes and 17 samples. I have my R memory increased to the max and am still getting "cannot allocate vector of size" errors. My matrix "x" is

Let's say I had a matrix like this: library(Ryacas) x<-Sym("x") m<-matrix(c(cos (x), sin(x), -sin(x), cos(x)), ncol=2) How can I use R to obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors? Thanks, John [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R community Have just recently got back into R after a long break and have been amazed at how much it has grown, and how active the list is! Thank you so much to all those who contribute to this amazing project. My question: I am trying to calculate Mahalanobis distances for a matrix called "fgmatrix" >dim(fgmatrix) [1] 76 15 >fg.cov <- cov.wt(fgmatrix)

Dear R list, I'm trying to calculate Mahalanobis distances for 'Species' of 'iris' data as obtained below: Squared Distance to Species From Species: Setosa Versicolor Virginica Setosa 0 89.86419 179.38471 Versicolor 89.86419 0 17.20107 Virginica 179.38471 17.20107 0 This distances above were obtained with proc

Hi, I am new to R and I want to know how to use C code which contains two functions one called inside another.I know that how to use C code in R if it has only one function but dont know how to do it in above case. I want to use the same in R .My C code is as follows. //#include <R.h> void sayHello(); void g(); void sayhello() { Rprintf("Hello world %d\n",global); } void

Is there a function that calculate the mahalanobis distance in R . The dist function calculates "euclidean"', '"maximum"', '"manhattan"', '"canberra"', '"binary"' or '"minkowski"'. Thanks ../Murli

Hi, > history() gives Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save although I can scroll throu history with C^uparrow an C^downarrow. How can I make history() work and/or show the current history in a file, so that I can choose from previous commands? The web did not throw up anything useful. TIA --Christian -- Christian W.
