Hello David(s), First of all, thank you for your help. I was running some tests, and I wish to know if I have correctly understood your explanation. Well, when I use rbind(), I get the variables binded by row, and when I use cbind() I get the variables binded by column. The dist() function, as

Hello R helpers, I'm trying to use Mahalanobis distance to calculate distance of two time series, to make some comparations with euclidean distance, DTW, etc, but I'm having some dificults. I have, for example, two objects: s.1 - c( 5.6324702, 1.3994353, -3.2572327, -3.8311846, -1.2248719,

When I first saw your question, I thought the problem might have something to do with inverting the variance-covariance matrix, S, but that is not the case, I think: S for s.1 and s.2: S [,1] [,2] [1,] 1.835044e+01 8.392485e-04 [2,] 8.392485e-04 4.093558e-07 inverse(S):

Hi, I can see that there is a function for mahalanobis distance in stat package. But I'm wondering if there is any implementation that can take in a mix of ordinal data and numerical values together? If no, would you mind pointing me to some reference for a methodology to do this? Thank you in

Say X is your data matrix with the variable, then you could do : X - matrix(rnorm(2100),300,7) S - var(X) dist - as.dist( apply(X,1,function(i){ mahalanobis(X,i,S) } ) ) Cheers Joris On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 11:41 PM, yoo hoo freesuccess2...@yahoo.com wrote: I am
