Hi, I want to know whether there is any function in R to find STRESS after using cmdscale and estimating the coordinates, I have written these functions to find stress (for p =1,2,3,4,5) stress<-rep(0,5) for(p in 1:5) { datahat<-cmdscale(d,p) deltahat<-as.matrix(dist(datahat)) a<-0 b<-0 for(i in 1:n) { for(j in 1:n) { a<-d[i,j]^2+a b<-(d[i,j]-deltahat[i,j])^2+b } } stress[p]<-b/a } stress<-sqrt(stress) stress but it seems that it is not true when there are negative eigenvalues in dissimilarity matrix could you please help me to find the answer thank you in anticipation
