Hello Rlisters! In my codes, I need to import a matrix:
v <- read.table("/home/tiago/matrix.txt", header=FALSE) v<-as.matrix(v) v V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 [1,] 1.00000000 -0.89847480 -0.73929292 -0.99055335 -0.04514469 0.04056137 [2,] -0.89847480 1.00000000 0.95986852 0.82978466 0.04056137 -0.04514469 [3,] -0.73929292 0.95986852 1.00000000 0.63996937 0.03337515 -0.04333297 [4,] -0.99055335 0.82978466 0.63996937 1.00000000 0.04471823 -0.03746038 [5,] -0.04514469 0.04056137 0.03337515 0.04471823 1.00000000 -0.89847480 [6,] 0.04056137 -0.04514469 -0.04333297 -0.03746038 -0.89847480 1.00000000 [7,] -0.60519045 0.67357531 0.64654374 0.55892246 -0.06244832 0.06950480 V7 [1,] -0.60519045 [2,] 0.67357531 [3,] 0.64654374 [4,] 0.55892246 [5,] -0.06244832 [6,] 0.06950480 [7,] 1.00000000 However, I keep getting the same error after loading that matrix: `v' is not a covariance matrix Nonetheless, if I input the matrix directly, there is no error: x1 = c(1, -0.898474804259413, -0.739292919198965, -0.990553354617789, -0.0451446949071635, 0.0405613709200646, -0.605190448449146) x2 = c(-0.89847480425931, 1, 0.959868518981255, 0.829784658203916, 0.0405613709200599, -0.0451446949071635, 0.673575314054563) x3 = c(-0.739292919198939, 0.959868518981239, 1, 0.639969373426519, 0.0333751532842623, -0.0433329714403989, 0.646543739123876) x4 = c(-0.990553354617685, 0.82978465820392, 0.639969373426531, 1, 0.0447182289834827, -0.0374603752332609, 0.558922461747364) x5 = c(-0.0451446949071635, 0.0405613709200646, 0.0333751532842635, 0.0447182289834874, 1, -0.898474804259413, -0.0624483157850655) x6 = c(0.0405613709200679, -0.0451446949071635, -0.0433329714403999,-0.0374603752332612,-0.898474804259486,1,0.0695048046856916) x7 = c(-0.605190448449077, 0.673575314054563, 0.646543739123887, 0.558922461747361, -0.0624483157850583, 0.0695048046856916, 1) v <- rbind(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7) row.names(v)<-NULL v [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 1.00000000 -0.89847480 -0.73929292 -0.99055335 -0.04514469 0.04056137 [2,] -0.89847480 1.00000000 0.95986852 0.82978466 0.04056137 -0.04514469 [3,] -0.73929292 0.95986852 1.00000000 0.63996937 0.03337515 -0.04333297 [4,] -0.99055335 0.82978466 0.63996937 1.00000000 0.04471823 -0.03746038 [5,] -0.04514469 0.04056137 0.03337515 0.04471823 1.00000000 -0.89847480 [6,] 0.04056137 -0.04514469 -0.04333297 -0.03746038 -0.89847480 1.00000000 [7,] -0.60519045 0.67357531 0.64654374 0.55892246 -0.06244832 0.06950480 [,7] [1,] -0.60519045 [2,] 0.67357531 [3,] 0.64654374 [4,] 0.55892246 [5,] -0.06244832 [6,] 0.06950480 [7,] 1.00000000 How can one import the data correctly?
