?dist
BTW, to me this does not happens.
x <- matrix(rnorm(100), nrow=5)
d <- dist(x)
1/sqrt(d)
1/sqrt(dist(x))

Hi Alex,
What is happening is that the ´dist´function calculates a distance matrix,
and returns an object of the ´dist´ class.

[1] "dist"
You can see a description of the ´dist´class at the end of the function
Hello Alex,
Look at the help page for the dist function. You'll see it doesn't
return a simple vector or matrix, rather a "dist" class object which
is why you got a surprise when you tried to treat it like a simple
value. The function is not really intended for spatial point distance
calculations,
