Klaus, You also need to make a change in the main function, as shown below.
pMatrix.min <- function(A, B) { # finds the permutation P of A such that ||PA - B|| is minimum # in Frobenius norm # Uses the linear-sum assignment problem (LSAP) solver # in the "clue" package # Returns P%*%A and the permutation vector `pvec' such that # A[pvec, ] is the permutation of A closest to B n <- nrow(A) D <- matrix(NA, n, n) for (i in 1:n) { for (j in 1:n) { # D[j, i] <- sum(abs(B[j, ] - A[i, ])) D[j, i] <- sqrt(sum((B[j, ] - A[i, ])^2)) # correct Frobenius norm } } vec <- c(solve_LSAP(D)) list(A=A[vec,], pvec=vec) } Hope this help, Ravi. ____________________________________________________________________ Ravi Varadhan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology School of Medicine Johns Hopkins University Ph.
