Hello you all from the R Help mailing list!
I am working on a PowerBook with Mac Os X and use R 2.5.0.
I used the distance function from the analogue package to perform a
similarity analysis using the Gowers Index and weighted Variables.
My variables are bivariate data and measurements as well as interval
data transformed into minimum and maximum variables.
I used this Code:
Dist.Gowa<-distance(Table1a ,Table0a ,method ="mixed", weights
(weighting),R = NULL )
weighting is a vector created by this code:
(weighting<- c
(1/3,1/3,1/3,1/2,1/2,1/2,1/2,1/2,1/2,1/4,1/4,1/4,1/4,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7
,
1/7,1/7,1/3,1/3,1/3,1/5,1/5,1/5,1/5,1/5,1/9,1/9,1/9,1/9,1/9,1/9,1/9,1/9,
1/9,1/5,1/5,1/5,1/5,1/5,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,1/7,
1/7,1/7,1/5,1/5,1/5,1/5,1/5,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,
1,1))
It contains the weightings for the variables of the two data tables.
My data tables look like this:
Anth_cap1 8.0 NA NA 4.0 5.0 1 1 3.0 5.0 2.4 4.5 5
5 2 2 2 3 1 1 1 1
Anth_crin1 5.0 NA NA 3.5 11.0 1 1 3.0 10.0 2.0 4.5 3
4 2 2 3 3 1 1 2 3
Anth_eck1 7.0 NA NA 6.0 12.0 1 1 6.0 11.0 2.0 3.0 3
5 2 2 3 3 1 1 1 2
At the end of the analysis I get always this message:
1: $ operator is deprecated for atomic vectors, returning NULL in:
object$na.action
2: $ operator is deprecated for atomic vectors, returning NULL in:
object$weights
Can anybody explain me what this means?
Does anybody know if I have to standardize my measurements. As I
understood this is included in Gowers Index. If not is there a
function with different options of standardization more than rescaler
from the reshape package provides?
Thanks for your help in advance.
