Before you can use a package you have downloaded you need to "activate" it. There are different ways of doing this. Simplest is to type library(ade4). ## library(ade4) ?discrimin.coa Follow Bastiaan and read in your file as follows (single forward slashes also work): ## See ?read.csv as you may need to change some switches MyFile <- read.csv("C:\\Documents and Settings\\USER\\My Documents\\MyFile.csv") str(MyFile) Without data it is difficult to help you further, but your general call to discrimin.coa is ## This may or may not work; depends what's in MyFile T.discrimin <- discrimin.coa(MyFile, fac = someFacInMyFile, scann=F, nf=4) T.discrimin plot(T.discrimin) Regards, Mark. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Discriminant-Correspondence-Analysis-tp3087929p3088091.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
