similar to: Finding distance matrix for categorical data

Hi, I have a 1.000 observations with 10 attributes (of different types: numeric, dicotomic, categorical ecc..) and a measure M. I need to cluster these observations in order to assign a new observation (with the same 10 attributes but not the measure) to a cluster. I want to calculate for the new observation a measure as the average of the meausures M of the observations in the cluster

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 posted this yesterday to r-help and Ben Bolker suggested reposting it here...

Hi Everyone, Chris suggested[1] I should ask for feedback as to whether this is a desired feature before I put too much effort into it, so here goes: I would like to be able to export a symbol that is inside an LLVM structure. This is possible on ELF targets[2], and the attached proof- of-concept patch to AsmWriter makes it work (although in a hackish way that I am NOT suggesting be

I've attached a less-hackish implementation of this. This includes the following modifications: - getSupportsOverlappingAliases() method on TargetMachine which returns whether the target supports multiple symbols to the same object. This returns false in the superclass and needs to be explicitly overridden for each target to enable it. - An implementation of this method in

I've noticed that I get a warning message every time a package masks some functions from Hmisc. The warning message says : Warning message: In identical(get(., i), get(., lib.pos)) : ignoring non-pairlist attributes This happens with eg: library(plyr) library(xtable) I think I've seen this passing by before, but I'm not sure any more. Just thought I'd mention it. Cheers Joris

Hi, I would like to have an index for a column in a matrix encoded in a cell of the same matrix. For example: x = matrix(c(11,12,13,1, 21,22,23,3, 31,32,33,2),byrow=T,ncol=4) In this case, column 4 is the index. I then access the column specified in the index by: > for (i in 1:3) print(x[i,x[i,4]]) [1] 11 [1] 23 [1] 32 > > for (i in 1:3) {x[i,x[i,4]] <- x[i,x[i,4]] + 5} > x

?typeof? is your friend here: > typeof(`[`) [1] "special" > typeof(mc[[1]]) [1] "symbol" > typeof(mc2[[1]]) [1] "special" so mc[[1]] is a symbol, and thus not a primitive. - Lukas > On 28 Mar 2017, at 14:46, Michael Lawrence <lawrence.michael at gene.com> wrote: > > There is a difference between the symbol and the function (primitive >

Hi David, Even if this works on Linux/ELF, do know whether it is "officially" supported? Using aliases to point to the interior of objects seems like something that could be very likely to break, but I don't know anything about how ELF encodes aliases. - Daniel On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 9:07 AM, David Chisnall<csdavec at swansea.ac.uk> wrote: > I've attached a

Dear gurus, I was utterly surprised to learn that one of my examples illustrating the need of match.fun() doesn't give me the expected result. center <- function(x,FUN) FUN(x) center(1:10, mean) mean <- 4 center(1:10, mean) Used to give me the error message "could not find function FUN". Now it just works, even though I didn't expect it to. I believe this is at least

I would like to prepare the data for barplot. But I only have the data frame now. x1=rnorm(10,mean=2) x2=rnorm(20,mean=-1) x3=rnorm(15,mean=3) data=data.frame(x1,x2,x3) If there a way to put data within a specific range? The expected result is as follows: range x1 x2 x3 -10-0 2 5 1 (# points in this

Dear Mr. or Ms.,   I used the R-software to run the zero-inflatoin negative binomial model (zeroinfl()) .   Firstly, I introduced one dummy variable to the model as an independent variable, and I got the estimators of parameters. But the results are not satisfied to me. So I introduced three dummy variables to the model. but I could not get the results. And the error message is

I think that's not quite right. environment() returns the current environment, it doesn't create a new one. It is evalq() that created

Seriously, if a method gives a wrong result, it's wrong. line() does NOT implement the algorithm of Tukey, even not after the patch. We're not discussing Excel here, are we? The method of Tukey is rather clear, and it is NOT using the default quantile definition from the quantile function. Actually, it doesn't even use quantiles to define the groups. It just says that the groups

Dear all, I'm updating a package regarding a new type of models, and I'm looking to extend the formula interface with two functions (L() and R() ) for construction of these models. I want to use as much of the formula interface as possible, and hoped to do something similarly to I(). I know the I() function does nothing more than add the class "AsIs". I've been browsing the

Dear all, I want to apply a weighted median on a huge dataset, and I remember a function from the package R.basic that could do this using an internal sorting algorithm qsort. This speeded things up quite a bit. Alas, I can't find that package anywhere anymore. There is a weighted.median function in the package limma too, but I didn't use that before. Anybody who knows what happened to

Hi, I want to give a summary or anova for "arima" model in R, as "summary", and "anova" for "lm". As including various intervention factors in arima(xreg = ) part, I want to assess the significancy of thse factors. I can do it using interrupted analysis of time series by linear regression, but want to see whether arima model works for the data first.

Dear all, Before I file this as a bug, I wanted to check if I didn't miss something. The help page of lag() says that the function returns a time series object. It actually does return something that looks like a ts object (the attribute tsp is set). But when using a vector, the class "ts" is not added to the result: > avec <- 1:10 > lag(avec) [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
