Dear R help forum members, I am modeling a gaussian distribution for a computational biology application and I am working in the statistical package "R". In this regard, my problem is that I have to construct a covariance matrix with variables (non-numeric) and the covariance matrix is to be used in an maximizers of the likelihood function to predict the variables in the matrix. I am unable to do that because I do not have an idea of how to construct a covariance matrix with non-numeric variable in the matrix.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
