Hi the list, I need to include some C code in R, but the behavior of the C code is strange : Here is my code : --- 8< --- Rprintf("\n XXXX mTraj=%f mClus=%f",mTraj[i+nbId*c],mClustersCenter[j+nbClusters*c]); Rprintf("\nDistA=%d Tmp=%d",dist,tmp); tmp = mTraj[i+nbId* c] - mClustersCenter [j+nbClusters* c]; Rprintf("\nDistB=%d

Dear all, I'm analyzing a dataset (A) of 400 cases with 11 binary variables. Unfortunately, several (actually a lot) of cases are identical. NA are also present. I want to to plot distances between cases. For this, I obtained a distance matrix by dist(A, method="binary"). I then analyzed the obtained distance via Principal coordinate analysis with cmdscale(). Results are fine.

Dear all, this might be not only an R-question but also a statistical. When I do a logistic regression analysis (species distribution modeling) with function lrm (Design package) I get the follwoing error message: > tadl1<-lrm(triad~fd+dista+fd2+dista2+fd:dista+dista:geo2, x=T, y=T) Error in if (!length(fname) || !any(fname == zname)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed The

i have a matrix with the following dimensions 136 3 and it looks something like [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 402 675 1.802758 [2,] 402 696 1.938902 [3,] 402 699 1.994253 [4,] 402 945 1.898619 [5,] 424 470 1.812857 [6,] 424 905 1.816345 [7,] 470 905 1.871252 [8,] 504 780 1.958191 [9,] 504 848 1.997111...............

Dear all, below you find enclosed my message from January 9th and my program (attention: beginner). Thanks for both answers! a. However, as far as I know the cosine is not the same as the Pearson correlation (only in special cases). b. Reid Huntsinger's hint was very useful, however I had to transpose the matrix first, for I want to calculate the distance of the _rows_. Regards, Petra

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 useRs, last week I asked you about a problem related to isoMDS. It turned out that in my case isoMDS was trapped. Nonetheless, I still have some problems with other data sets. Therefore I would like to know if anyone here has experience with how well isoMDS performs in comparison to other non-metric MDS routines, like Minissa. I have the feeling that for large data sets with a high

Hi, I am looking for the best multidimensional configuration for my data (47*47 distance matrix). I ve tried classical metric (cmdscale) and non metric MDS (isoMDS, nmds) but it is now difficult to choose the best solution because of the uncertainties in the definitions of the "stress" function. So, same problem, several questions : 1. Statistical consideration : With

I am starting with a matrix in which rows are vegetation plots and columns are various characteristics including ID# and elevation. I removed elevation and ID columns to avoid having those characteristics influence the distances between points which I calculated using the "dist" command. The resulting distance file was then used in isoMDS. What I want to know is whether I can

Hello everyone, I have a question on isoMDS. My data set (of vegetation) with 210 samples is in this way: Rotfoehrenau Lavendelweidenau Silberweidenau .... 067_Breg.7 0 2 0 .... 071_Dona.4 0 2 6 .... ... I want to do an isoMDS-analysis with the dissimilarity index

Hi, I'm trying to use isoMDS to project a directed graph to 2-dim vectors, but I got an error. #here is the code to create the graph using igraph package and run isoMDS on it. library(igraph) library(MASS) g<-make_graph(c(1,2, 2,3, 2,4, 3,4, 4,5, 5,6, 3,6, 1,6, 2,5),directed=TRUE) dist<-distances(g, mode="out") loc<-isoMDS(dist) # below is content of the dist matrix

Dear all, I'm completely new to R and at first I must say that it is a great program! But I have a problem with the function isoMDS from the MASS package. I have this code which I load with source() from a file: x <- c(163.59514923926784, 150.01448475257115, ...... {here are some more values}) x.sort <- sort(x) x.dist <- dist(x.sort) library(MASS) x.mds <- isoMDS(x.dist)

Hi We have a few questions regarding the use of the "isoMDS" function. When we run "isoMDS" function using 60,000 x 60,000 data matrix, we get the following error message: ------------------------------------ cmdscale(d, k) : invalid value of 'n' Calls: isoMDS -> cmdscale ------------------------------------ We checked the source code of "cmdscale" and

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 R-Help-Team, I tried to use isoMDS-Function of the MASS-Package: Message: Fehler: konnte Funktion "isoMDS" nicht finden (error: could not find function "isoMDS") so I tried to install the package MASS: > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() versuche URL 'http://cran.rakanu.com/bin/windows/contrib/2.8/VR_7.2-45.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 1598763

If tbl is an object of class 'dist', you can do this: a <- sammon(tbl, k=3) But you can't do this: b <- isoMDS(tbl, k=3) Wouldn't it be sensible to have identical interfaces to sammon() and isoMDS() ? I think all that would be needed is to change this: isoMDS <- function(d, y=cmdscale(d, 2), maxit=50, trace=TRUE) { ...into this: isoMDS <-

Hi, For example: I built a half matrix "w" using a daisy(x, metric = c("euclidean")) http://www.nabble.com/file/p25211016/1.jpg And next I transformed this matrix "w" using isoMDS function, for example isoMDS(w, k=2) and as result I got: http://www.nabble.com/file/p25211016/2.jpg And now I have two questions: 1. If number in matrix w[2, 1] (= 0.41538462) match

When I type "isoMDS()" in the R environment, a error shows up: no such function "isoMDS". Why? And what should I do to use isoMDS? Additionally, I cannot install add-on packages. Typing "Rcmd.exe INSTALL e:/VR_7.2-44.zip" results in "'perl' is neither command nor executable file...". Why this happens?Thanks. The setup file I downloaded is

Hello, I am trying to do a multi-dimensional scaling of the World Bank's quality of governance indicators for the Balkan region. I am having trouble labelling my plot. Could some kind person help me out. How do I set the attribute Label by a variable (say, "Code")? At present I get this: >qog.dist<-dist(Balkans.data, method = "euclidean", diag = FALSE, upper =

I'm not sure this belong here... Package: MASS Version: 6.2-8 I get a core dump when I call isoMDS with an incorrect argument for y.
