Re: [R] why stress value remains so high after invoking of metaMDS

2008-12-30 Thread Sarah Goslee
If cm is a similarity matrix, why are you taking its Euclidean distance? (The usage I'm familiar with has similarity as a pairwise measure of association.) Otherwise, if you feel the stress is too high, that implies that a 2-dimensional solution is inadequate for your data and you should consider

[R] why stress value remains so high after invoking of metaMDS

2008-12-29 Thread Wu Chen
Hello everyone! metaMDS(cm, distance = euclidean, k = 2, trymax = 50, autotransform =TRUE,trace = 1, plot = T) (cm is a similarity matrix, in which values are positive integers or 0) I use this command to run NMDS on my matrix cm. But the stress is very high after analysis. About 14.
