similar to: want to count 2 NULLS as disimilar with DIANA/DAISY/GOWER

Hello, I am running DAISY in R and using the GOWER metric since I am working with mixed variables. I am wondering if there is a way to weight the different variables. I see that there is a weight value for Gower but do not know if this is how to weight the diffrent variables with different weighting values. Please advise if there is a way to weight the different variables. Thank you. -- View

Hello folks, I have been asked about the resilience of samba clients when faced with a domain controller failure. My client's environment has multiple Windows Domain Controllers (we'll call them dc1 - dc9). Assuming that domain replication operates as expected (and does, from Windows workstation point of view), what should I expect if (when) the domain controller that initiated a

I installed R on my Windows laptop in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.2 and am able to open RGUI (640bit), see packages and run commands. However, when I test the installation and run the basic tests and all the tests on the standard and recommended packages i.e.: library("tools") testInstalledBasic("both") testInstalledPackages("base", errorsAreFatal

Hello all, I have a set of data points, which I have pair distances for. I managed to create dendrogram for this data set using diana() in R, however this only gives me the tree and not the clusters themselves. I am trying to determine clusters using Calinsky and Harabasz Index (CH Index). I, however, cannot find how to accomplish this using R. Is there anyone who could help me with this? I

Hi the list, I need to compute Gower distance between a specific individual and all the other individual. The function DAISY from package cluster compute all the pairwise dissimilarities of a population. If the population is N individuals, that is arround N^2 distances to compute. I need to compute the distance between a specific individual and all the other individual, that is only N

Alguém sabe onde encontro os comandos para utilizar em daisy() no pacote cluster o método de Gower para dados moleculares codominantes, quantitativos e multicategóricos "conjuntamente"? Agradeço.

Dear All, I would like to ask clarifications on the gower distnce matrix calculated by the function gdistin the library mvpart. Here is a dummy example: > library(mvpart) Loading required package: survival Loading required package: splines mvpart package loaded: extends rpart to include multivariate and distance-based partitioning > x=matrix(1:6, byrow=T, ncol=2) > x [,1]

I'm interested in clustering my data using the Gower Similarity Coefficient, and I was wondering if R is capable of using that metric Timothy Rye [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello I have 2 rows in a matrix and I want to calculate the Gower Distance between the 2 , how can I do it? I searched and found nothing that can help me, and my program doesn't know the gdist function and I couldn't find it on the R help site. Can anyone help me plz Thank u all [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-helpers, First of all, a happy new year to everyone! I succesfully used the daisy function (from package cluster) to find which two rows from a dataframe differ by only one value, and I now want to come up with a simpler way to find _which_ value makes the difference between any such pair of two rows. Consider a very small example (the actual data counts thousands of rows): input

I am currently using the function daisy in package cluster to create a dissimilarity matrix because my multivariate dataset contain missing data and variables of various types including factors, symmetric and asymmetric binary and quantitative. This is a step prior to using pco within ecodist. There is a warning which comes twice ">NAs introduced by coercion" I've used

Hi, I'm trying to apply the function daisy() to a data.frame 10000x10 but I have not enough space (error message: cannot allocate vector of length 1476173280). I didn't imagine I was not able to work with a matrix of just 10000 observations... I have setted in Rgui --max-mem-size=2G (I'm not able to set more space..) How can I solve this issue? Separating observations depending on

Dear Rhelp,   I did a daisy on 5 lifestyle variables, 3 of which were nominal and 2 were ordinal and assigned types “nominal” and “ordinal” for the variables, respectively.  I got an output indicating their types as “I” for interval(?). Doing it on the Rdata example “flower” gave the same types in the output as the types they were assigned to.  Why is this so? Below are the codes and outputs.  

Hi, I have two groups, and I want to find the dissimiarity between the members of the two groups. Since I have mixed level variables on the members, I opt for the daisy function in the cluster package. Let's pretend that the following represent my groups: x <- data.frame(sex=factor(c(1,0,0,1,0,1), levels=0:1, labels=c('Male','Female'), ordered=FALSE),

Hi All - I am using the daisy function from the cluster library to create a dissimilarity matrix. I'm going to use that matrix to run a cluster analysis. My participants are identified with the variable, hhid. However, when I try to keep hhid in the dataset that I use to create the dissimilarity matrix, daisy uses it to create the matrix rather than ignoring it as an ID variable. I need to

Hello, I am a relatively new user of R. I have written a basic function to calculate the Gower similarity function. I was motivated to do so partly as an excercise in learning R, and partly because the existing option (vegdist in the vegan package) does not accept missing values. I think I have succeeded - my function gives me the correct values. However, now that I'm starting to use it with

Hi, I'm using the cluster library to examine multivariate data. The data come from a connection to a postgres database, and I did a short R script to do the analisys. With the cluster version included in R1.8.0, daisy worked well for my data, but now, when I call daisy, I obtain the following messages: --------- Error in if (any(sx == 0)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed In

Hi, I'm a PhD student and I want to use the function 'daisy' from the package 'cluster' to compute dissimilarities. My variables are of mixed types so I use the argument 'stand' in daisy to define the type of my variables. I have the following error message : Warning message: binary variable(s) 13, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35,

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
