similar to: Mahalanobis distance and probability of group membership using Hotelling's T2 distribution

Hi, I want to do a 2 sample hotelling's test but i can't figure out how. When i type T2.test it says there is no such test and when i tried library(rrcov) it says there is no such program.

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,

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

Hi I have a couple of functions that work on the object created by another R command and then print out or summarise the results of this work. The main function is defined as: hotelling.t <- function(obj) { #internal commands } I then have print.hotelling.t() that takes the list returned by hotelling.t and prints it with some extra significance calculations, formatting, etc. I want to

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,

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))

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

I am doing a cluster analysis with hclust. I want to get hclust to output the Hotelling's T squared statistic for each cluster so I can evaluate is data points should be in a cluster or not. My research to answer this question has been unsuccessful. Does anyone know how to get hclust to output the Hotelling's T squared statistic for each cluster? Mike [[alternative HTML version

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

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

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.

Hello R people I now know how to run my discriminant analysis with the lda function in MASS: lda.alain=lda(Groupes ~ Ht.D0 + Lc.Dc + Ram + IDF, gr, CV = FALSE) and it works fine. But I am missing a test and cannot find any help on how to get it, if it exist. The "S" equivalent: discrim(structure(.Data = Groupes ~ Ht.D0 + Lc.Dc + Ram + IDF, class = "formula"), data = gr,

Dear all, We have a data frame x with n people as rows and k variables as columns. Now, for each person (i.e., each row) we want to calculate a distance between him/her and EACH other person in x. In other words, we want to create a n x n matrix with distances (with zeros in the diagonal). However, we do not want to calculate Euclidian distances. We want to calculate Mahalanobis distances, which

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

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 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)

The help on mahalanobis {stats} does not include any reference. I'm interested in understand why Mahalanobis is defined in its current way and how to use it. Could somebody point me a good book on this? I have looked through a few books, but they all give very light explanation on it.
