I have a question on isoMDS.
My data set (of vegetation) with 210 samples is in this way:
Rotfoehrenau Lavendelweidenau Silberweidenau .... 067_Breg.7 0 2 0 .... 071_Dona.4 0 2 6 .... ...
I want to do an isoMDS-analysis with the dissimilarity index "bray/curtis" as discribed in the help-files of the package vegan:
mds.test <- isoMDS(test.bc, initMDS(test.bc), maxit=200, trace=FALSE, tol=1e-7)
Then I get following error message:
"Error in isoMDS(test.bc, initMDS(test.bc), maxit = 200, trace = FALSE, :
zero or negative distance between objects 19 and 20"The objects 19 and 20 have the same variables in the same way and therefore they have a zero distance.
My question is: Is it possible to perform an isoMDS with a data set where some samples have the same variables in the same way?
