Hi, I'm mighty new to R. I'm using it on Windows. I'm trying to cluster using a distance matrix I created from the data on my own and called it D10.dist. I loaded the cluster package. Then tried the following command...
> agnes("E:D10.dist", diss = TRUE, metric = "euclidean", stand = FALSE, > method = "average", par.method, keep.diss = n < 1000, keep.data = !diss) And it responded... Error in agnes("E:D10.dist", diss = TRUE, metric = "euclidean", stand = FALSE, : x is not and cannot be converted to class dissimilarity D10.dist has the following data... D1 0 D2 0.608392 0 D3 0.497451 0.537662 0 D4 0.634548 0.393343 0.537426 0 D5 0.558785 0.543399 0.632221 0.726633 0 D6 0.659483 0.701778 0.741425 0.668624 0.655914 0 D7 0.603012 0.659173 0.571776 0.687599 0.383712 0.683948 0 D8 0.611919 0.665357 0.526453 0.715093 0.457496 0.698213 0.317039 0 D9 0.41501 0.652117 0.552011 0.68969 0.485988 0.702738 0.42819 0.442598 0 D10 0.376512 0.600607 0.517857 0.673515 0.530421 0.667736 0.537025 0.48062 0.240559 0 I would appreciate any suggestions. Please assume I know virtually nothing about R. Thanks, Karen PS I'll eventually be using ~10,000 "species" to cluster. I'll need to have within and between cluster distance info and I'll want a plot colored by cluster. I agnes the right R tool to use? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/New-to-R-trying-to-use-agnes-but-can-t-load-my-ditance-matrix-tp3627154p3627154.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
