Hello I'm using the package ade4 to obtain classification from a .txt file. I use the following commands: cronquist <- read.table("cronquist.txt", h = T, row.names = 8) cronquist <- as.taxo(cronquist[7:1]) cro.phy <- taxo2phylog(cronquist) in which cronquist.txt is a file with a classification of 218 genus of tree species from french Guiana. We I try to use the

Is it possible to make disappear the id numbers from scatter.dudi (mc analysis) ? a <- as.factor(c(1, 2, 3, 2, 1)) b <- as.factor(c(3, 2, 3, 1, 1)) x <- as.factor(c(1, 2, 2, 1, 3)) y <- as.factor(c(2, 2, 3, 1, 1)) dat <- data.frame(a=a, b=b,x=x,y=y) summary(dat) dat require(ade4) dat.acm <- dudi.acm(dat, scann = FALSE, nf = 2) scatter.dudi(dat.acm) Thank you very much !

Hi all, I've been trying to figure out how to superimpose a histogram on a biplot that shows the relative contribution of each axis. I have been using the NIPALS function (http://biomserv.univ-lyon1.fr/~dray/ files/softwares/nipals.R) to run principal component analyses. Here is a toy example. source("http://biomserv.univ-lyon1.fr/~dray/files/softwares/nipals.R")

Hi all: How can I calculate the cumulative variance (or variance for each component) in correspondence analysis? If were possible in ADE4 package Thank you -- Antonio Punzón Merino O__---- Instituto Español de Oceanografía c/ /'_ --- Centro Oceanográfico de Santander (*) \(*) -- Promontorio de San Martín S/N ~~~~~~~~~~ 39004-Santander; Spain PO BOX: 240 Tlf: +34 942 29 10 60 Fax: +34

Hello I have a data base consisting of soil parameters, and tree species densities. The vcd (visualizing categorical data) package includes the ternaryplot function which plots the gravitation center of 3 prameters. I'd like to find a similar function for use with continuous data rather than categorical. Does anyone know of a function suitable for this objective? Thanks Steve

Dear R-users How can I get the eigenvalues out of an lda analysis? thanks a lot christoph -- Christoph Lehmann <christoph.lehmann at gmx.ch>

I am not sure a previous e-mail reached the list (no mail aknowledgement from R-boundle etc.). The question was how to write polygon or segment coordinates into a shapefile set or any other ArcGIS supported format. The library shapefiles seems to do something but the documentation is a bit beyond of my mind.... and I cannot get the meaning of the functions write**** and its application to the case

Hi Now a more theoretical question. I have two correlation matrices - one of a set of variables under a particular condition, the other of the same set of variables under a different condition. Is there a statistical test I can use to see if these correlation matrices are "different"? Thanks Mick

Hello list, I have two vectors x and x2: x=runif(10) x2=runif(10) and one vectors with their names : my.names=c("x","x2") I would like to cbind these two vectors using their names contained in the vector my.names. I can create a string with comma ncomma=paste(my.names,collapse=",") and now, I just need a function to transform this string into a adequate

Hi, I misunderstand the definition of Canberra distance in R. On Internet and in function description pages of dist() from stats and Dist() from amap, Canberra distance between vectors x and y, d(x,y), is : d(x,y) = sum(abs(x-y)/(x+y)) But in use, through simple examples, we find that the formula is : d(x,y) = (NZ + 1)/NZ * sum(abs(x-y)/(x+y)) with NZ = nb of pairs of coordinates that are

Numeric data that is part of a mixed type data frame is converted into character. How can I tell apply to maintain the original class of a column and not convert it into character. I would like to do this of the vector and not inside the apply function individually over each element. Consider the following two scenarios, in the second column 'a' maintained its class while it lost its

Hello, I am trying to use 'R' for K-means simulatio, could you please advise me how I can read my data into a two dimesional array? Or is there any method which directly reads the excell file? Please let me know asap. Regards Skanda Kallur Cogito, Ergo Sum! Rene Descartes

Hello, suppose I have a list with matrices: a=list(x1=matrix(rnorm(10),5,2),x2=matrix(rnorm(10),5,2),x3=matrix(rnorm(10),5,2)) I want to compute for all combination of xi and xj (x1,x2 x1,x3 and x2,x3) a value. This value is given for the pair x1,x2 by trace(x1%*%t(x1)%*%x2%*%t(x2)) / trace(x1%*%t(x1))*trace(x2%*%t(x2)) I know that product matrices t(xi)%*%xi can be obtained by:

Dear All, I am using the scatter.dudi finction in the 'ade4' package to produce correspondence analysis (nice) plots. I do not seem to figure out how to plot the raw coordinates only -- or column coordinates only. I would appreciate any help in doing that. Here is the example I am following -- from the package. data(banque) > banque.acm <- dudi.acm(banque, scann = FALSE, nf =

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 ...

Hello list, Sorry, these questions are not directly linked to R. If I consider an indefinte real matrix, I would like to know if the symmetry of the matrix is sufficient to say that their eigenvectors are real ? And what is the conditions to ensure that eigenvectors are real in the case of an asymmetric matrix (if some conditions exist)? Thanks in Advance, St?phane DRAY

Hello, I have a question that is not directly related to R ... but I try to do it in R ;-) : I would like to generate a matrix Q satisfying (for a given Z, X and W) the two following conditions: t(Q)%*%Q=Z (1) XQ=W (2) where: Q is m rows and r columns X is p rows and m columns D is p rows and r columns C is r rows and r columns with m>p,r e.g: m=6, p=2 r=3

Hello I have some kind of problem with R. I want to do a pca (I work on R and ade4 library) but R doesn't wan to realize my pca because of my data: I have some binary variable (presence/absence of birds, hole, vegetals...) and metric variable (cliff 's size...) and each time I have an error message because of the mix of the 2 type of variable. So, what can I do? Famille SALMON

Hello list, I have used scan function to import data into R. I have done some analysis and find strange results. I have found my problem : when importing data with scan, this can slightly modify the data : > write(c(0.251,3.399,-0.481,0.266),"essai.txt") > scan("essai.txt") Read 4 items [1] 0.251 3.399 -0.481 0.266 > print(scan("essai.txt"),17) Read

Hello, Let's assume I have a vector of integers : > myvector <- c(1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 3, 5) My purpose is to obtain the cumulative distribution of these numerical data, i.e. something like : value nb_occur. <=1 2 <=2 4 <=3 6 <=4 6 <=5 7 For this, I create a table with ; > mytable <- table(myvector) 1 2 3 5 2 2 2 1 However, table() returns an array
