Hi Mike and all, thanks again. Actually your suggestion is a good way to print data in R, but unfortunately does not add any information to what I aready have on my table data.
What I would like to see is how far are the trials from each others in terms of similarity. ...maybe I just need another way to analyze the data. For this reason I ask if someone has other suggestions, maybe coming back to the MDS? Is there anyone who can provide an R example about how I can analyze my data with a MDS analysis?
