Dear all, I'm trying to get a two dimensional embedding of some data using different meythods, among which princomp(), cmds(), sammon() and isoMDS(). I have a problem with sammon() because the coordinates I get are all equal to NA. What does it mean? Why the method fails in finding the coordinates? Can I do anything to get some meaningful results? Thank you very much Domenico

hi, My code: data<-matrix(data=c(0.425,0.5,0.75,0.125,0.25,0.475,0.375,0.25,0.625,0.5,0.1,0.125,0,0.25,0.25),nrow=3,ncol=5,byrow=TRUE, dimnames=list(c("Good","Medium","Bad"),c("Content","Logistic","Trainer","Supply","User contribution"))) plot(corresp(data,nf=2),xlim=c(-1,1),ylim=c(-1,1)); The plot is

Hello I will be applying MDS (actually Isomap) to make a psychological "concept map" of the similarities between N concepts. I would like to scale to a large number of concepts, however, the resulting N*(N-1) pairwise similarities is prohibitive for a user survey. I'm thinking of giving people random subsets of the pairwise similarities. Does anyone have recommendations for this

Dear all, I didn't find any graphical solution in the package "mva" to plot the canonical scores from a CCA (canonical correlation analysis). Does anybody knows how to plot or has anybody already programmed : - the map of the canonical scores, - the graph of the canonical weights, - the correlation circle i.e. the canonical loadings ? Thank you for help ...

I've been unable to find a R package that provides the means of performing Clarke & Ainsworth's BIO-ENV procedure or something comparable. Briefly, they describe a method for comparing two separate sample ordinations, one from species data and the second from environmental data. The analysis includes selection of the 'best' subset of environmental variables for explaining

I just noticed that two key pieces of information are not given by the summary() command: N and SD. we are given the N missing, but not the converse. I know these summary value can be obtained easy, but can't understand why these two pieces of information are not provided with the other info. Thanks, Gerard

Hi all, I'm trying to perform an MDS of some data that I have. When I use cmdscale everything is fine and I get some interesting results however, the tends to be low. What I wnat to do is compare this with the Non-Metric MDS using isoMDS or sammon. However, when I try using these I get the following message. Error in isoMDS(x.dist) : zero or negative distance between objects 2 and 4

Message 2 of today: it works now. After re-installing R.app from the same R-2.1.0.dmg file, and fixInNamespace'ing(*) install.packages(), I managed to update 23 outdated packages from CRAN binaries for MacOS X. What I did was to: 1. change call to .install.macbinaries() into call to install.binaries() in install.packages(). install.binaries() is a function defined utils/R/aqua/GUI.R. 2. I

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

Dear all, in package Hmisc `rcorr' computes a matrix of Spearman's `rho' rank correlation coefficients for all possible pairs of columns of a matrix. What if I want a matrix of rank correlation coefficients for pair of columns of two different matrices? I have the same question about distance metrics in package Vegan. The function 'vegdist' computes distance indexes for all

On my computer, it seems that (binary?) packages installed through the GUI in RAqua are not used available to the command line version of R, while (source) packages installed with R CMD INSTALL are available to both. This is a problem when I run R CMD CHECK on a package that I am creating that depends on packages I have installed through the gui. Is this a problem with my installation of R, or a

Dear colleagues, I a m a beginner with R and I would like to add labels (i.e. the variable names) on a pca loading plot to determine the most relevant variables. Could you please tell me the way to do this kind of stuff. The command I use to draw the pca loading plot is the following : Plot(molprop.pc$loading[,1] ~ molprop.pc$loading[,2]) Thanks for your help Fred Ooms

Is there a way of running BUGS on OS X (from R)? I only see Windows versions on their website. If not, what are the alternatives for Bayesian analysis? Thanks, Tamas

Better install and run R from a USB flash drive. This will save you the trouble of re-writing the CD as you upgrade and install new packages. Also, you can simply copy the R installation on your work computer (no install rights needed); R will run. HTH, b.
