Hi all, Thanks for the quick response. I see the ade4 package in not needed for distance matrix computation, but as far i can see you need it for comparing two distance matrices. In the stats package i can't find any similiar functions like mantel.randtest or RVdist.randtest of the ade4 package. S

You are right, in the help page of mat2dist, dist2mat we found: mat2dist and dist2mat are local copies of as.dist and as.matrix.dist of mva. now these functions are in stats. We have to check it. Thanks. Quoting Martin Maechler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > "bady" == bady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi all, I am trying to compare two distance matrices with R. I would like to create a XY plot of these matrices and do some linear regression on it. But, I am a bit new to R, so i have a few questions (I searched in the documentation with no success). The first problem is loading a distance matrix
