dist.prop: Computation of Distance Matrices of Percentage Data

Description

computes for percentage data some distance matrices.

Usage

dist.prop(df, method = NULL, diag = FALSE, upper = FALSE)

Arguments

df

a data frame containing only positive or null values, used as row percentages

method

an integer between 1 and 5. If NULL the choice is made with a console message. See details

diag

a logical value indicating whether the diagonal of the distance matrix should be printed by `print.dist'

upper

a logical value indicating whether the upper triangle of the distance matrix should be printed by `print.dist'

Value

• returns a distance matrix, object of class dist

encoding

latin1
