ts does not recycle so try this: dist(cbind(x = ts(x), y = ts(y)), method = "max") If you need the intermediate two column structure then try cbind(x = ts(x), y = ts(y)) as an mts series or t(t(cbind(x = ts(x), y = ts(y)))) as a plain matrix. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
