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

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

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

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 ...

If I perform PCA on the 'eurodist' data, should I get an accurate geographic layout of the cities with biplot? (barring inversions, i.e. their is no way to define north.. but you get the idea...) I have a complex distance matrix, and I am thinking about how to cluster it and how to visualize the quality of the resulting clusters. If I could 'see' the clusters in space I could

I find it a bit peculiar that a package skeleton created with a utils function package.skeleton() fails subsequent R CMD check. I do understand that the function is intended to produce only a skeleton that should be edited by the package author. I think that it would be justified to say that the skeleton *should* fail the test. However, I have two arguments against intentional failure: * When you

Hello Trying to install the MySQL package, I get the following error. The help archive contains something on this issue but did not help.

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

I'm looking to switch to Mac platform. Anyone had any experience with that? I'm expecting on a power G4 laptop later this week.... hope R behaves... -- dok

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 All, I would like to ask clarifications on the gower distnce matrix calculated by the function gdistin the library mvpart.

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
