Ah OK, I didn't get your question then. a dist-object is actually a vector of numbers with a couple of attributes. You can't just cut out values like that. The hclust function needs a perfect distance matrix to use the calculations. shortcut is easy : just do f <- f/2*max(f), and all values are b

Yes Joris. I did try that and it does produce the results. I am now wondering why I wanted a matrix like structure in the first place. However, I do want 'f' to contain values less than 2 only. but when i try to get rid of values greater than 2 by doing N <- (f[f<2], f strcuture disrupts and hclust

errr, forget about the output of dput(q), but keep it in mind for next time. f = dist(t(q)) hclust(f,method="single") it's as simple as that. Cheers Joris On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 10:39 PM, Ayesha Khan wrote: > v <- dput(x,"sampledata.txt") > dim(v) > q <- v[1:10,1:10] > f =as.matrix(dist(t(q)))

Hi Ayesha, I wish to help you, but without a simple self contained example that shows your issue, I will not be able to help. Try using the ?dput command to create some simple data, and let us see what you are doing. Best, Tal Contact Details:---

Thanks Tal & Joris! I created my distance matrix distA by using the dist() function in R manipulating my output in order to get a matrix. distA =as.matrix(dist(t(x2))) # x2 being my original dataset as according to the documentaion on dist() For the default method, a "dist" object, or a matrix (of

As Tal said. Next to that, I read that column1 (and column2?) are supposed to be seen as factors, not as numerical variables. Did you take that into account somehow? It's easy to reproduce the error code : > n <- NULL > if(n<2)print("This is OK") Error in if (n < 2) print("This is OK") : argument
