Dear all, I have -hopefully- a tiny problem.
I was sent a text file containing a distance matrix à la: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Now I wanted to import these data into a dist object to, let's say, do 'plot(hclust(v))'. My first naïve approach was to scan the text file in order to get a vector v. Then I did: class(v) <- "dist" attr(v, "Size") <- 4 But, of course, I got this: 1 2 4 3 5 6 I wonder if there's an elegant way to do it. The only way I know of is very very stony one. I'd be very appreciated for any hint.
