Hello List, My question is an elementary one. I have run a fuzzy kmeans cluster using FANNY to group freshwater fish assemblages. I then went in the field to validate that classification and have retrieved new assemblage data for a new suite of streams. Therefore I would like to use Predict to determine how well the original clustering fits the new data. However I have not figured out a

Hi I have submitted a package (rioja) to CRAN. It checks OK for all R versions and OS's except r-release-macosx-ix86 where it fails when checking the examples. Specifically, it fails because R can't find the package vegan which is needed in a function. Here is the snippet from the check results: ### Begin snippet checking examples ... ERROR Running examples in 'rioja-Ex.R'

Hello. I found the behavior of knn( http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/class/html/knn.html) function looking very strange. Consider the toy example. > library(class) > train <- matrix(nrow=5000,ncol=2,data=rnorm(10000,0,1)) > test <- matrix(nrow=10,ncol=2,data=rnorm(20,0,1)) > cl <- rep(c(0,1),2500) > knn(train,test,cl,1) [1] 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 Levels: 0 1 It

Hello all! I am performingsome clustering analysis on microarray data using agnes{cluster} and I have created my own dissimilarity matrix according to a distance measure different from "euclidean" or "manhattan" etc. My question is, if I choose for example method="complete", how are the distances between the elements calculated? Are they taken form the dissimilarity

Hi, I was trying to get the optimal 'k' for the knn. To do this I was using the following function : knn.cvk <- function(datmat, cl, k = 2:9) { datmatT <- (datmat) cv.err <- cl.pred <- c() for (i in k) { newpre <- as.vector(knn.cv(datmatT, cl, k = i)) cl.pred <- cbind(cl.pred, newpre) cv.err <- c(cv.err, sum(cl != newpre)) }

Hello, I am feeling that this question can have a very simple answer, but I can't find it. I need to use the function knn.dist from knnflex library. Whatever I try, I get the error: Error in as.vector.dist(x, "character") : unused argument(s) ("character") First example: > a<-NULL > a<-rbind(a,c(5.2,-8.1)) > a<-rbind(a,c(8.8,-16.1)) >

Maybe you should show your colleague how to access help pages in R? Right in ?knn, it says: prob: If this is true, the proportion of the votes for the winning class are returned as attribute 'prob'. so 1.0 mean all three NNs are of the `winning'; i.e., predicted, class, and 0.66667 means 2 out of the 3 NNs are of the winning class, etc. Andy > From: Ko-Kang

I am trying to use knn to do a nearest neighbor classification. I tried using my dataset and got an error message so I used a simple example to try and understand what I was doing wrong and got the same message. Here is what I typed into R: try [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] r "A" "A" "T" "G" r "A" "A" "T" "G" f

ear all, This is my first time using this listserv and I am seeking help from the expert. OK, here is my question, I am trying to use impute.knn function in impute library and when I tested the sample code, I got the error as followingt: Here is the sample code: library(impute) data(khanmiss) khan.expr <- khanmiss[-1, -(1:2)] ## ## First example ## if(exists(".Random.seed"))

The function knn.cv in the class package doesn't have error checking to ensure that the length of the classlabel argument is equal to the number of rows in the test set. If the classlabel is short, the result is often a segfault. > library(class) > dat <- matrix(rnorm(1000), nrow=10) > cl <- c(rep(1,5), rep(2,5)) > cl2 <- c(rep(1,5), rep(2,4)) > knn.cv(dat, cl) [1] 2

Hi I have a dataset from biological data with forty samples whichh relate to four different treatments. Each sample has thousands of values but as usuual contains missing values I want to use knn to imput these missing values. I am doing tthis using knn.impute. Do I need to specify the various groups or can I just use the knn.impute command on the whole dataset together. Also I am setting

Hi Everybody, i again have the problem in using tune.knn(), its giving an error saying missing values are not allowed.... again here is the script for BreastCancer Data, library(e1071) library(mda) trdata<-data.frame(train,row.names=NULL) attach(trdata) xtr <- subset(trdata, select = -Class) ytr <- Class bestpara <-tune.knn(xtr,ytr, k = 1:25, tunecontrol = tune.control(sampling

How can I do a simple k nearest neighbor regression in R? My training data have 1 predictor and 1 outcome, both are numeric. I also need to use FPE and SC to find the optimal model. I know there is knn() in class package, but it's for knn classification. I also find a kknn package. What function should I use? Thanks in advance! Menghui

Hello all, am a newby in R, am trying the knn function, and am doing just a stupid test : > knn(c(1,2,3,4,5,6), c(3), k=4 ,prob=TRUE,factor(c(1:6))) the result is unstable !! i have each time different result : [1] 5 attr(,"prob") [1] 0.1666667 Levels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 [1] 4 attr(,"prob") [1] 0.1666667 Levels: 1 2 3 4 5 6 [1] 1 attr(,"prob") [1] 0.1666667 Levels:

Hi I need some help with ploting the ROC for K-nearest neighbors. Since KNN is a non-parametric classification methods, the predicted value will be either 0 or 1. It will not be able to test for different cutoff to plot ROC. What is the package or functions I should use to plot ROC for KNN? Thanks. Qian [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

hi, r users i have a problem with KNN. i have 2 datasets, X0 and X1. >dim(X0) >1471*13 dim(X1) >5221*13 and for every instances in the dataset X1, i want to find the nearest neighbour(1nn) in the dataset X0. and i dont have the true classifications of dataset X1. but the function knn() need true classifications(cl) to do prediction. i just curious if there are some other function

Hi all, I'm using knn() to estimate the missing values of a matrix and I just want to output the complete matrix resulting from this command. For example m is a matrix with missing values m1<-knn(m,k=10) I want m1 to be a matrix I can work with, that is to say I want to apply mean(m), var(m)...but the format is changed. How do I solve this problem? thanks

Hi Experts,I'm writing up my thesis on open source data mining at the moment and I have to do some simple R experiments; however, I have very little experience with R.. And I am hoping one of you can please help me out:)I need need to run a regression task that uses the KNN algorithm with k = 5 and cross validation = 10 on the computer hardware datset from the uci repo and report the RMSE.
